When Should I Consider Suing An Employer?
2
If you suffer an injury on the job, you may think
its time to get a lawyer and sue your employer.
Not so fast in most cases, workers
compensation keeps an employer safe from lawsuits
ad covers the costs of treating an employees
injuries and other losses.

If you simply suffered an injury in a workplace
accident, suing your employer is usually not an
option. The strongest course of action in these
circumstances is often to consult with an
experienced attorney to really maximize your
workers compensation benefits. However, if you
suffered harm or injury because of an employers
actions, then it is possible that you have
grounds for a lawsuit. This legal area can get
particularly tricky, so it is always wise to
involve the guidance of an attorney who can help
you understand the law that governs these
conflicts and create a strong strategy for
defending your rights.

Did Your Employer Intentionally Hurt You?

If an employer does something intentionally to
hurt an employee, this might serve as grounds to
sue an employer outside of workers compensation.
For instance, if your boss expresses frustration
at you by striking you physically, that is
assault. Assault is a crime whether it happens in
a cubicle, a bar, or at a party.

Your employer could also harm you in other ways
to justify a lawsuit, like defaming your name or
inflicting ongoing emotional trauma on you. Each
persons experience is different and must be
approached with care.

Did Your Employer Discriminate Against You?
Workplace discrimination is still surprisingly
common, unfortunately. If you believe that your
employer discriminated against you, you may have
grounds for a lawsuit. How you proceed is very
important. A good first step is obtaining any
documentation you can get on your employers
policies on discrimination. You can then consult
with an attorney to make sure you understand the
scope of the law governing discrimination and
determine a path forward.

Were You Wrongfully Terminated?
Finally, you may have grounds for a lawsuit
against a former employer if they wrongfully
terminated you. There are many ways that a
termination could qualify as wrongful, so be sure
to do your homework. If you believe that you do
have some legitimate grounds for bringing a
lawsuit against an employer, dont hesitate to
reach out to experienced legal counsel for help
building a strong case to protect your rights and
keep the workplace safe and fair.
