Can my employer fire me for filing a workers' compensation claim?
No, it is illegal for your employer to retaliate against you for filing a workers' compensation claim. California Labor Code Section 132a prohibits employers from discriminating against workers who file claims or testify in workers' compensation proceedings. If you believe you have been retaliated against, you may have additional legal remedies available.
