San Antonio Lawyers for Employees With FMLA Claims
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a federal law that allows you a period of unpaid leave to care for a spouse, dependent or yourself if you have a serious medical condition. However, many employers break the law, denying employees their rights under the law or punishing them when they try to take time off for a medical emergency.
At Kocurek & Krudop, P.C., in San Antonio, Texas, our lawyers represent employees who have been denied FMLA leave or if you have suffered employer retaliation for exercising your right to take FMLA leave. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case.
Can My Employer Deny My FMLA Claim?
Many employers have an affirmative duty to assist an employee in need of FMLA leave. If you qualify for leave under the FMLA, your employer must help you get the appropriate paperwork and submit the necessary documents if you or a dependent has a serious medical condition.
However, the FMLA law is complex and limits eligibility for leave based on the size of your employer and your status as an employee. Our lawyers will assess your claim during your free initial consultation. If your employer violated your right to take FMLA leave, you may be entitled to compensation, including attorney fees.
