Medical Employee Retaliation Defense Lawyer
"Whistleblowers" are employees who report wrongdoing in the workplace to a superior, a law enforcement agency, a governmental agency, or the public.
Whistleblowers often take such actions at the risk of losing their jobs and careers. The whistleblower laws in Texas protect whistleblowers from retaliation from their employers under certain circumstances.
Texas law does provided limited protections for employees in various circumstances, including:
- Certain nursing home employees discharged for whistleblowing
- Certain hospital, mental health facility, or treatment facility employees discharged for whistleblowing
- Certain registered nurses discharged for reporting incidents of poor nursing to the Board of Nurse Examiners
- Certain physicians discharged for reporting the acts of another physician to the State Board of Medical Examiners
What to Do if Your Employer Retaliates Against You for Whistleblowing
Contact an attorney immediately, and preferably an attorney who routinely represents employees in employment litigation. To preserve your rights under the law for this type of retaliation, you should act quickly, as claims for whistleblowing retaliation are subject to statutes of limitations that vary widely and can often be very short in time (weeks or months). Lastly, take thorough notes regarding everything discriminatory that is said or done to you and keep all of your records related to your employment. These notes and records may be the key to your case.
