Gladstone, MI asked in Employment Discrimination, Employment Law, Personal Injury and Sexual Harassment for Michigan

Q: worplace sexual harassment, intimidation, discrimination, workplace injury

I am currently still employed at a place where I had to endure sexual harassment, intimidation, discrimination and workplace injury to which they seemingly on purpose filled out paperwork to cause workmans comp to be denied and cause as much disarray as possible. I don't know if I should quit or not. Will that mess up backpay for workmans comp? Will that ruin me being able to fight back?

A: You should contact an experienced employment law attorney for a free consultation to review the facts of your case. Beyond the workers comp issue, sexual harassment, intimidation, and discrimination in the workplace are very serious issues. Discuss the evidence of your work experience with an employment attorney, and they will advise you on next steps.
