Addressing Retaliation Issues in Workers’ Compensation Cases with Sousa Law, LLC

Experiencing an injury while performing work duties shouldn't lead to fears of job loss or reprimand for filing a workers' compensation claim. Employer retaliation is not only illegal but also unacceptable. At Sousa Law, LLC, we dedicate ourselves to helping Connecticut workers understand their rights under both federal employee rights and state workers’ compensation laws.

Concerned About Job Security After Filing for Workers’ Compensation?

Since 1993, our Shelton-based law firm has been representing a range of workers, from UPS truck drivers to police officers, in cases where employer retaliation occurs following safety complaints and workers' compensation claims. Examples of employer retaliation can include:

• Job termination

• Demotions

• Negative performance evaluations

• Denied promotions

• Wage discrepancies

• Threats or intimidation

• Loss of benefits (like vacation time, preferred scheduling, insurance)

• Unjust transfers, reassignments, or reclassifications

• Unjustified disciplinary actions

• Negative employment references

Legally, employers cannot fire employees for filing workers' compensation claims. If you've been terminated after filing a work injury claim, you might be eligible for back pay and attorney fees.
