Can my employer retaliate against me for filing a claim?

Your employer is not allowed to retaliate against you in New York State if you file a workers’ compensation claim. If that happens, there’s multiple avenues you can go through to report that. Maybe even legal avenues to go to seek recourse. But you do not have to worry that if you file a workers’ compensation case, you’re going to be retaliated against because if you are and it can be proven, you’re going to have recourse there. It can be quite confusing. So, it’s really important to contact a personal injury law firm to make sure that these are handled properly and you’re getting the full benefits you deserve under both avenues of recovery.
