State laws protect injured workers from such discrimination. If you believe you have been fired or discriminated against because of your workers' comp claim, a lawyer can help you understand your rights and pursue legal action against your employer for unlawful retaliation, potentially seeking reinstatement, lost wages, and other damages.",
