Can I be Fired or Dismissed For Seeking Damages Against my Employer For my Work Accident?
No, this is actually illegal. This helps to prevent employers who have put their staff in danger from getting away with negligent practises. What most people aren’t aware of is that insurers usually cover the cost of compensation, aka damages, for people who have a claim against their workplace.
The negligent company not only doesn’t foot the bill directly, it isn’t allowed to sack staff who seek to receive financial relief for their injury either.
