Is it legal for a company to file a Workers Comp claim for the employee without their consent or knowledge?

Mikoman asked:


This person is my best friend and doesn’t have internet. Management let the building get too hot and humid and many got sick. My friend and others tried to tell them they were getting worse. A couple months went and my friend had a severe allergic reaction. Friend had anaphylaxis earlier in life and said it felt like that. Friend now has even worse problems with rash and asthma. Allergy tests were matched with molds found in building. Company takes no responsibility and tells friend to come back or get fired. Friend found out about WC when denial letter was received it was several months later before illness and workplace were connected by environmental and medical tests. Friend has no money for Attorney but has family. I’ve seen my friend suffer with breathing problems, burning and can’t even go outside, stress is unbelievable, also developing sensitivity to some foods. Friend had anaphylaxis from penicillin earlier in life. Any good info would be appreciated.
