The Law Under Worker's Compensation | Ruddo Articles
Worker’s Compensation is a category of laws that protect people that are injured at work. The intent of these laws is to look after the injured worker. If you have been injured on the job, then you should know your Worker’s Compensation rights. It tries to ensure that you’ll receive the right medical care, any income that you may have lost and any help that you need getting back to work. This consists of rehabilitation.

Lawsuit or worker's comp?
From 2003 till 2008, I was a police officer and then a detective. I was also a member of the SWAT team. One day while training, I dislocated my shoulder really bad (2005) and passed out. I had to go to the hospital and it was out of socket for a couple hours. I continued to have problems with it and dislocated it again a year later during a riot. Both of them were documented. I stopped working there and went back to school in 2008. In 2009 my shoulder
I feel it's in your best interest to go ahead with a lawsuit. The reason being is you are severely injured and should be compensated for your loyalty to the department since you've no insurance, or money to have it properly treated.
Ask at your state's department that handles disability claims.

Good luck on getting anything. Most states have a two year statute that you have file your workers comp claim. Once that time period passes you are on your own. You will lose based on waiting to long to file.
Williams chief at workers' comp agency
Williams sees his role as one of trying to control the costs while assuring that injured workers are treated fairly.
"It is a good feeling when you can be a part of restoring an injured worker to resume his job and make a living for himself and his family.
"It is also a good feeling when you can be a part of a system that makes the workplace more effective, safe and, hopefully, profitable. When a company experiences high losses paying injured benefits, that increases the cost of business, and increases the price of their goods and services — to say nothing of the poor worker who is injured."
Williams said the commission constantly works to control costs so employers are not unduly penalized and paying more than necessary.
"At the same time you have to balance that scale, and provide the highest quality of service. For example, we don't want workers to go to doctors without a lot of experience in that particular area.
"Work-related injuries that require a lot of orthopedic work such as knee and back surgeries can be pretty expensive. We must have fee schedules that encourage leading doctors to take these patients and get them back on their feet and back on the job," Williams said.
