Injured workers are often terminated following a work-related injury. Employers frequently fire employees who are injured on the job to attempt to avoid paying them work comp benefits. The reason for the termination can certainly be a determining factor in whether workers' comp benfits are owed. If an employee is terminated because of a work injury, then the Employer may be required to pay income benefits. If you have questions about a wrongful termination in a work comp claim, contact Atlanta work injury attorney Brian H. Sumrall at (404)924-4595 or visit
