The employer has very little say in any of the process once you are hurt at work, don't let them scare you. The insurance company, however, does have access and will definately look. Of course if they find something that will get them off the hook, of course it will get back to your employer.

If your employer is paying your workers' comp Yes When I had a company in the state I did all the investigation my self as the insurance don't give a hoot

Depends on the state but in general a request to seek medical records with non-relevant information redacted is common in most states.

It depends on the state, but in most cases yes....only those regarding the injury as well as any drug or alcohol tests taken at the time...
no prior records or those not pertaining to the injury, the workers comp insurance can look to see if there is something in prior records to let them off.

It depends on who is going to pay for your disability.

If they are going to pay then they can, it makes no sense to pay with no proof of the injury, of course this is only limited to the work realted injury (he can't ask for your complete medical history).

What do you think? Answer below!
