Current Case Updates
La-Z-Boy
In November of 2006, the Utah Supreme Court ruled in our clients’ favor holding that they could pursue a wrongful discharge claim based upon their terminations from La-Z-Boy after filing (or attempting to file) for workers compensation benefits. This landmark decision makes clear that employers may not terminate employees for accessing or attempting to access their rights to workers compensation. We attempted to pursue this case on behalf of a class of employees who were terminated wrongfully by La-Z-Boy, but our motion for class certification was denied by the trial court. After the Tenth Circuit refused to take appeal of that denial, our firm is purusing individual claims.
IF YOU BELIEVE YOU MAY HAVE BEEN WRONGFULLY TERMINATED BY LA-Z-BOY BASED UPON A WORKER RELATED INJURY, PLEASE CONTACT OUR OFFICE IMMEDIATELY.
