Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

A present or future employer is not supposed to discriminate against you because of an industrial injury, but it occurs all the time and is dlifficult to prove. You are required to disclose all injuries or limitations that reasonably might effect your ability to carry out the duties of the job you are applying for but I think you do not have to reveal that it was in fact a WC case. Contact the Division of Industrial Relations to see what can be done. Sadly, I suspect the possible employer will be able to find out that someone with your name did file a claim even if they can not see any of the records.
