A: I wouldn't call it illegal. Regardless, it appears clear that the employer is not going to provide ongoing work after your injury, so you may have a claim for both wage loss and medical benefits. I regularly handle workers' compensation claims in Hazleton. Please feel free to contact me at 570-714-3343 to discuss your options.
