No. It is illegal to fire workers because they file injury claims. It is also illegal to fire workers because they tell someone else, they should file a claim or because they serve as a witness in a claim proceeding. However, you can get fired for failing to follow an employer’s instructions during injury recovery. For example, if a doctor clears a victim for light duty, and the boss tells the worker to report to a light-duty assignment, like a parking lot attendant, the victim must report as directed.
