401 Questions Answered
Q. I collected workers comp due to covid but the manager that disobeyed higher ups and put me in a covid inffested area
A: If the manager works for a seperate company, you may have a cause of action against him and possibly his employer. I would suggest that you contact a local attorney to review your options.
Q. Police officer hurt in line of duty, car accident. 2 years Heart\Lung. Failed suicide. Approved pension denied by Chief.
A: This is a complicated fact pattern, and you really should meet with a workers' compensation attorney in your area. From the limitted information available, you certainly appear to have a workers' compensation claim. You should know that taking the pension may reduce the amount you receive from workers' compensation, so it may be in your best interest to put of taking the pension until after the workers' compensation is settled.
Q. can a company lie about their starting salary online?
A: No you cannot sue. An employer has to pay at least minimum wage, that's it. They can even reduce the pay for existing employees if there is no contract with proper notice.
