I was fired during worker's compensation. What can I do legally about this?

In Illinois, it is against the law to threaten, harass or fire an injured worker because he/she filed a workers' compensation claim. State laws differ in the area of workers' compensation and you must consult with an attorney in your state for the best possible advice. In addition to any State law that prevents a termination of employment, you may be covered by a union contract commonly called a collective bargaining agreement.
