Workers' Comp Retaliation cases in Surprise
Some Surprise employers punish injured workers for filing comp claims — sudden firings, cut hours, demotions, or harassment until the worker quits. It happens across Maricopa County's industries, and workers often don't realize the retaliation itself may support a claim separate from the injury.
Retaliating against an employee for pursuing workers' compensation violates Arizona law. If the timeline of your treatment and your treatment at work tells that story, a participating Arizona law firm may review your Surprise situation.
Common Surprise workers' comp retaliation situations
- Firings shortly after filing a comp claim
- Cut hours, demotions, or reassignment after an injury
- Harassment or write-ups targeting an injured worker
- Pressure to work against medical restrictions
