Can I be terminated for filing a workers’ compensation claim in North Carolina?
It is illegal for employers to retaliate against employees for filing a workers’ compensation claim. This is a protected activity under North Carolina labor laws. If your employer takes adverse action against you, such as firing or demoting you for filing a workers’ compensation claim, you may have a legal standing to sue for retaliation. Discuss this matter with your workplace accident attorney if you experience retaliation from your employer.
