Employment and Labor Law Attorney in West Virginia

The Fox Law Office, PLLC knows that the workplace can be filled with a number of areas where personal rights may be infringed upon or otherwise affected:

The current economy is such that employees may be expected to work long, hard hours; yet, injured workers do retain rights in the workplace that should never be compromised. Workers’ Compensation does provide for a certain amount of protection. In some instances, you may also be able to assert your rights and seek settlement beyond what workers’ compensation covers, especially in situations of discrimination, harassment, or negligence.

For example, there are protections in employment law that cover workers who have been injured on the job, which keep employers from wrongfully discharging them or who return to work and are expected to work at a different level than before their accident. Workers who file claims or who file suit due to negligence or an unsafe working environment may also be seen targeted for retaliation, which is also against the law.

The workplace can be an area where workers may be sexually harassed. When this is part of the corporate culture, workers and employers may not be as discerning about what is improper or impolite, and what is illegal—particularly when it comes to your job status. If you are not sure, it may be best to consult with an attorney who can help assert your rights and get the compensation you deserve.

Employment and labor law matters can often be stressful situations to navigate. Attorney James Fox and his compassionate staff are here when you need to consult with an experienced lawyer who is familiar with these employment-related subjects.
