Workers\u2019 Compensation is not a perfect system and it can be downright unfair. However, the Michigan Workers Disability Compensation Act prohibits employers from retaliating against their employees for filing for workers\u2019 compensation after suffering a workplace injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of our clients\u2019 main concern is whether they will be fired while they are on workers\u2019 compensation. It is understatement to say that a workplace injury can present challenges. This is especially true when many of our clients are concerned about losing health insurance and seniority positions at their employment. However, there are legal protections in the place to protect employees that file for workers compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workers\u2019 Compensation covers medical treatment, lost wages, and vocational rehabilitation. It was enacted as a safety net for employees injured on the job. The amount paid for lost wages is generally equal to 80% of an employee\u2019s after taxes average weekly wage. In exchange, employers receive immunity from civil lawsuits and do not have to pay additional damages for their negligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have been retaliated against for filing for a workers\u2019 compensation benefits, you may be entitled to compensation beyond what your workers\u2019 compensation pays. There must be a causal connection between your receipt for medical treatment and the retaliatory actions by the employer.<\/p>\n
