How to Fill Out New York’s No-Fault Application (NF2) After a Car Accident

In New York, it is illegal for an employer to fire an employee as a result of the employee filing a workers’ compensation claim. This is known as retaliation and is against the law. If the employer did fire you because of making a claim they will open themselves to a lawsuit.

If you believe that you have been fired for filing a workers’ compensation claim, you may be able to file a complaint with the New York State Division of Human Rights or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). These agencies can investigate your complaint and, if appropriate, take action against your employer.

I would always recommend contacting a lawyer as many of these lawyers don’t charge a fee from you and get paid on a contingency fee.

Additionally, you may be able to bring a lawsuit against your employer for wrongful termination or retaliation. In order to succeed in a lawsuit, you must be able to show that:

You engaged in a protected activity, such as filing a workers’ compensation claim;
Your employer took an adverse action against you, such as terminating you;

If you have been fired for filing a workers’ compensation claim, it’s important to seek the advice of an experienced employment law attorney. An attorney can help you understand your rights and obligations and can provide guidance on how to proceed with your case.
