Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Employer will not pay for Health Insurance while on Worker's Comp
I was injured on the job and am on
worker's comp. The company stopped
paying for my
health insurance as soon as I was
injured and gave me COBRA which I
have to pay for. Is this legal?

You may have been discriminated against due to a workers compensation injury which is a violation of law. You must consult with a workers compensation attorney and ask if they handle "132a" claims.
