Can I Be Fired If I File for Workers’ Compensation in Rifle?

Has your employer threatened to fire you if you seek workers compensation in Rifle for your workplace illness and/or injury?
 
Do you fear losing your job if you seek your right to compensation?
 
Did your employer fire you for “unrelated reasons” after you filed a claim?
 
The last thing you need after suffering an injury or illness is to fear for your job! If your employer has suggested that you might be let go if you pursue your legal right to workers compensation in Rifle, know that you’re not alone and that Kaufman & Kaufman is here to help you. 

According to Colorado state law, all workers have a right to compensation- even seasonal, temp, and undocumented ones. Even if your employer doesn’t have workers’ compensation insurance, you still have this right, and your employer is not allowed to fire you just because you have a claim. However, some employers may attempt to dismiss you for a reason “unrelated” to your claim, and so it is important to be prepared with professionals who will fight for your rights.
 
You shouldn’t try to use your health insurance and sick days to cover an injury, because many medical providers screen for workplace injuries, and your care may be denied or billed to workers’ compensation anyway.
