Afraid of getting fired for filing a comp claim? The law is on your side.

There are state laws that protect you from being discharged for filing a comp claim, hiring a lawyer or being a witness.

For example, under Subtitle B, Chapter 451 of the State of Texas Labor Code, “a person may not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against an employee because the employee has:

1) filed a worker’s compensation claim in good faith;
2) hired a lawyer to represent the employee in a claim;
3) instituted or caused to be instituted in good faith a proceeding under Subtitle A;
4) testified or is about to testify in a proceeding under Subtitle A.”

Other states have similar protection against worker retaliation.
