Workers' Compensation 132a and Misconduct Claims
Claims before the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board for an industrial injury often include a claim for discrimination under Labor Code §132a. The employee may believe that he or she was fired because of the injury or because of a claim for benefits. Injured workers may also claim that the injury was due to reckless conduct by the employer, i.e. "serious and willful" under Labor Code § 4553. Typically, these claims are not covered by insurance. Cook Brown represents employers in the cost effective monitoring and resolution of 132a and 4553 claims.
