Not necessarily, It would simply be up to you since its not his name which is going to go on the record. Its ur job on line, and the person you will be complaining to has an upper hand over your employer. So it really is upto you. If he does force you, its your decision that actually matters.

Employers can fire an at-will employee for any reason, but an employee has remedies in court for wrongful termination (i.e., if the employee was fired for not participating in illegal activities that the employer was involved in, if the employee was discriminated against, or when the employee "blows the whistle" on the employer).

In California you are in a better position if you filed a claim or told your employer you were injured and needed medical treatment before you walked off the job. Quitting is not a bar to workers comp under all circumstances, especially if you had previously reported the claim. You will probably need an attorney because your employer or carrier will likely deny the claim.
