Under workers’ compensation laws, if a worker files a workers’ compensation claim against their employer, the employer may not fire, discriminate against, or retaliate against the worker in any fashion. When a worker files a workers’ compensation claim, they relinquish the right to file a lawsuit against the employer or against any co-workers for any additional compensation. Workers’ compensation claims do not require the worker to prove fault. Because the employer is not held liable, both the worker and the employer are protected from further actions.
