We are very happy to announce another Walton Lantaff Schroeder & Carson, LLP legal update!

Some of the topics that will be covered include, but are not limited to:

– What employees are protected by the statute
– What employers are covered by the statute
– What kinds of employer actions could give rise to a claim under the statute
– What damages can an employee recover under the statute
– How does an employer defend against a workers’ compensation retaliation claim

This is certainly an important topic, knowing that there are significant repercussions for running afoul of these Rules.
