Re: Companies getting involved in a worker comp settlement
A company may not retaliate against an employee for having filed a WC claim for injuries sustained on the job regardless whether or not an attorney has been hired.
The employee should report this to his attorney who will then have to notify the Commission for proper action against the company in form of fine and/or other actions.
I hope this helps,
