Los Angeles Discrimination Defense Attorney

California Employer Discrimination and Labor Code 132a Lawyer

Defending Employers and Small Businesses

California places numerous employment law and insurance burdens on business enterprises. The best way to avoid problems in these areas is to comply with both the letter and spirit of the law. Sacks & Zolonz, LLP, an experienced workers' compensation law firm, can provide counsel to help employers with compliance. When the firm's clients are accused of violations of California Labor Code section 132a or serious and willful misconduct, the attorneys energetically defend the rights and interests of the clients.

California Labor Code 132a

By enacting Labor Code Section 132a, the State of California made it public policy that employees who file workers' compensation claims should not suffer reprisals or discrimination. Employers who do discriminate or retaliate against employees because of the filing of workers' comp claims or expressing their intention to do so face the prospect of costly fines and the possibility of employee lawsuits. Sacks & Zolonz, LLP, defends clients facing these accusations of discrimination or retaliation.

Even if an employee was discharged for a legitimate business or personnel reason, the legitimate reason can be difficult to prove. The law firm thoroughly investigates the accident and injury, the employer's human resources policies and procedures, and the exact events leading up to the discharge or other negative consequence. By building a defense from the ground up, Sacks & Zolonz, LLP, maximizes the likelihood of a favorable outcome.
