9.7 Does Filing a Workers’ Compensation Claim Prevent an Injured Worker from Filing a Charge Under the ADA?
Technical assistance manual on the employment provisions (Title I) of the Americans With Disabilities Act
IX. WORKERS' COMPENSATION AND WORK-RELATED INJURY

"Exclusivity" clauses in state workers’ compensation laws bar all other civil remedies related to an injury that has been compensated by a workers’ compensation system. However, these clauses do not prohibit a qualified individual with a disability from filing a discrimination charge with EEOC, or filing a suit under the ADA, if issued a "right to sue" letter by EEOC. (See Chapter X.)
