Definición

If someone is 'on your case', they are frequently criticizing, nagging, or bothering you, often because they think you did something wrong or want you to change your behavior.

Uso & Matices

Informal and often used when someone repeatedly gives unwanted advice or criticism, like a parent, teacher, or boss. Not literal—does not mean legal 'case'. Often follows 'be' or 'get': 'She's always on my case about homework.' Similar to 'nagging', but sometimes less intense.
