Have you applied for worker's comp?

You don't say how far you have gotten in that process, but you would have to wait for the case to be reviewed and approved.

Here is a directory of the state officials who handle worker's comp.

If you have not already spoken to them, you should contact the one for your state and find out how to apply, or if you already have, how far your case has gotten.

Are you still employed? If not, you should be applying for unemployment.

You don't give enough information, and you might be better off contacting Human Resources to see just where you stand. You could also contact your union if you belong to one.
