In the state of California, workers’ compensation is public record. However, while everyone can request information about a case, record coordinators do have the right to be able to deny a request. Specifically, they’re able to do so should releasing the information be a violation of federal or California laws regarding privacy.
Someone can access the records should they be a party to the claim, from the office of the district attorney, a member of a law enforcement agency, or have a journalistic purpose.
