Worker's Comp Retailiation
Your husband is entitled to worker's compensation if he "got" carpel tunnel on the job. In any event, it is against the law for his employer to fire him because he filed a claim. I would be glad to discuss this with you or your husband, you most likley have a case for wrongful termination. Please feel free to contact me at 1.800.403.7868 or at acrone@cronemason.com
