new employer and work comp questions

[tjr5150]

I live in colorado

I was wondering if a new employer can legally do a background check to see if you have ever been on workman's comp. I ask this cause they stated they do that type of check..

Usually if you are injured on a job and start working for a new one, If your injury flares up it usually goes back to your previous job. So they might check, but that shouldn't be a reason not to hire you cause of having a WC at your last job.

I'm talking at the interview, they said that they do a workman's comp check on new employee's. Is it legal to do that
