About Workers’ Compensation Claims

Workers' compensation claims arise in the context of employment law when employers retaliate against employees for filing workers' compensation claims or when disputes arise about coverage and benefits. Most states prohibit termination or other adverse actions against employees who exercise their workers' compensation rights.
