Labor Code Section 132a Discrimination Claims

Protecting Employers Against Labor Code Section 132a Discrimination Claims

Facing a Labor Code Section 132a claim can be a daunting challenge for any employer. Section 132a of the California Labor Code protects employees from discrimination, retaliation, or other adverse actions due to a workers’ compensation claim. At Lozano Law, we are well-versed in defending employers against these claims, which can often lead to costly penalties, reinstatement orders, or back pay.

What Is Labor Code Section 132a?

Labor Code Section 132a aims to protect injured workers from discrimination after filing a workers’ compensation claim. Employers found in violation of this law may face serious consequences, including increased liability. However, these claims are not always clear-cut. Employees may allege wrongful discrimination, which requires a strong and sophisticated defense.
