What about before the case is heard?

I would say that's not a good idea. Everyone will stare at you or ignore you all the time and blame you for stuff you didn't do or stuff they're not allowed to do anymore coz they're not grownups who play by any rules except their own...and you will be made miserable to the point where you will be forced to quit. They will not give you supplies to do your jobs or you'll be held responsible for things you don't know how to do or are below your usual work level, etc.

Worker's Comps claimants generally retain their jobs if the doctor approves them back to work. Other litigants against an employer (race discrimination, sexual harrassment, etc), generally negotiate a settlement that includes him or her agreeing to leave the employer and the employer giving a neutral reference.
There really is no hard and fast rule when it comes to lawsuits, but dealing on a daily basis with a company you sued can be awkward. Worker's comps people are different because they are suing just to enforce their statutory rights and generally just want clarification as to the benefits they are entitled to from their employer. If the Worker's Comp person is suing, they likely are having a problem returning to work because of their health and, therefore, working for the employer may no longer be an issue.

A worker's compensation case is not suing your employer - it is an administrative remedy not a court case. Your Worker's compensation carrier is an insurance company paid for by your employer. It is your right if you are hurt on the job in the course of your work to file a claim with your worker's compensation carrier, to seek treatment, rehab, etc.. People It is against the Worker's Compensation Act to fire someone who has made a worker's compensation claim on that basis. People get hurt at work all the time and can continue with the same company for many years thereafter. If you are hurt, file a first report of injury and get some medical help before you have no recourse. Good luck -

Depends on what the laws are within the state you reside. In California an employer may not fire you for filing a workers compensation case however, the employers have many sneaky ways to make your lifea living hell. If they do retrobute against you you should have your attorney file a 132A filing against the employer, this would give you an extra ten percent in the award if it is found to be true.

no one gets to keep a job. One has to perform. If you are suing your employer and you are fired, you may have to prove it was retribution. Would you want to keep working there if you lose? If you win? Get another job first then sue.
If you file for worker's comp, that is not suing.

in most states, if the employer has workers comp coverage they are immune from lawsuits so the employee can't sue them.

They cannot legally fire you for having a workers comp claim.

After a lawsuit, you don't want to work for them still, because they will make your life a living hell. You will get the worst jobs, and hours, possible.
