As per my previous question How do Florida's labor laws protect employees injured when asked to do something unreasonable?
A girl who works at a major retail chain in Florida was asked to lift a 180lb box and injured her shoulder to the point where she cant lift it over her head. As per company policy, she went and requested to file an injury report. The company management told her "it's a lot of paperwork" and "we're 8 days away from meeting our metrics goal of zero injuries that result in a doctor visit" and asked her to not file a report.
I told her this was absurd and urged her to insist they allow her to file a report this morning. She attempted, for the second time, still within 24 hours of the incident as per company policy, to file a report. Management yelled at her, harassed her, asked her if she wanted to see a doctor, and when she said yes, she was told she could only see a doctor the same day the report was filed, and since they needed her on shift, she couldn't see one.
She was then, after working there 6+ months with zero write-ups, given three write ups within a span of hours for frivolous violations, including her shirt coming un-tucked while reach upward for something, and mentioning the incident to a co-worker (who then went tell management she needs a doctor), which the management labeled as talking about non-work-related topics, and the third was so frivolous she's not even clear what it was for. She's on track to be fired on her next shift.
In layman's terms, how difficult would it likely be based on the facts Ive listed for a lawyer to prove the company broke Florida Statute 440.205 considering they're carrying out the firing in a roundabout way?
Coercion of employees.—No employer shall discharge, threaten to discharge, intimidate, or coerce any employee by reason of such employee’s valid claim for compensation or attempt to claim compensation under the Workers’ Compensation Law.

This person might well be a case here, but rhe kind of specific answer needed by this question is detail-dependant and is really specific legal advice. It will be best to consult an actual employment lawyer. many will give inital consultations to discuss an issue free or at low cost.
