Lenexa, Kansas Retaliatory Discharge Attorney
Most employment in Kansas is "at will." This means you work at your will and at the will of your employer. However, there are certain actions an employer cannot take. Of these prohibited actions, an employer cannot terminate an employee for filing a workers' compensation claim or for complaining about discrimination in the workplace. If you have been retaliated against for either, you have legal options.
The Law Office of Michael J. Joshi can help if you have been retaliated against for filing a workers' compensation claim. Call me at 913-227-0100 or toll free at 877-227-8456 to schedule your free initial consultation. You can also e-mail me and I will be in touch with you promptly.
Were you fired for filing a workers' compensation claim?
I represent Kansas and Missouri employees from various occupations who have sustained work-related injuries.
