Wrongful Termination After Injury

Summary

In Illinois, if you are terminated after a work-related injury, you may have a wrongful termination claim as employers cannot retaliate against employees for filing workers compensation claims. Private investigators hired by employers must not trespass or invade privacy. If a private investigator violates these rules, you may have a legal claim. Your lawyer cannot force you to change doctors or transfer medical records without your consent, though they may suggest it for your case. Consider contacting the Illinois State Bar Association Lawyer Referral Service for legal assistance.
