What
other areas of law might apply?
In addition to injury claims, often injured employees will have issues involving other fields of law, including, but not limited to:
- Americans with Disabilities Act ( ADA). The ADA prohibits employers from discriminating against employees with a disability.
- Social Security Disability Benefits: If the employee is unable to find employment in a job in substantial numbers throughout the country due to a disability, he or she is entitled to these benefits.
- Retaliatory Discharge: An employer cannot fire or take an adverse employment action against an employee for filing a workers' compensation claim.
ERISA and other insurance claims: Where workers' compensation benefits are being denied, alternative relief can often be had through group insurance plans or group disability plans.
