Re: Job Harassment

If the harassment is a direct result of your industrial injury you should seek representation with a comp attorney who can file a discrimiantion claim along with your application for adjudication of claim. If you succeed in your discrimination suit you will receive a 50% increase in any benefits and may be able to file a civil suit. Additionally, any settlement within the comp arena is tax free However, if the harassemtn is not related to comp, you should not seek redress with a comp claim or attorney.
