Key factors: (1) Show adverse action linked to claim; (2) Protected activity includes reporting injury; (3) Burden shifts if timing suspicious; (4) Document performance pre-injury. File retaliation complaint with labor department promptly. Consult an attorney as wrongful termination suits may apply beyond comp." } } ] }
