Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

That depends. It is illegal to terminate an employee just be cause s/he reported a workers' compensation claim. If an employee has reached maximum medical improvement, it may be illegal to terminate an employee because of any permanent work restrictions. Since you did not include any specific facts, I strongly encourage you to contact a workers' compensation attorney. You can find one in your area by going to the California Applicants Attorneys Association at www.caaa.org.
