In the CA Workers' Comp System, employers will sometimes send you to a post injury drug test. These test may also include, medication like Opioids. They do these test to make sure that you were not under the effects of any substances when you were injured.

If you are worried about having to take a drug test after being injured at work, just be prepared. This does come up in Workers' Comp as we mentioned above. If you happen to fail the test, the results may be used against you to deny your claim or even try to say your symptoms are cause due to the drugs and not the injury.

If you happen to find yourself in this situation, talk to an attorney. If you don't have an attorney it's probably best you hire one.
