[5] In Meadows, the court concluded that the "battle of ideas" over Wood's Rule was over, and held that an employee who alleged that he had been dismissed for filing a worker's compensation claim had the right to sue his employer for wrongful discharge, notwithstanding the absence of any statute proscribing the employer's conduct. 666 S.W.2d at 733. The court explained that "[t]he fear of being discharged would have a deleterious effect on the exercise of a statutory right." Id. (quoting Frampton v. Central Ind. Gas Co., 260 Ind. 249, 297 N.E.2d 425 (1973)).
