More details to this question:
I have been injured 5 months ago on the job and went to the company doctor. I was told I just bruised my knee went back to the same doctor a week ago. I was told I had meniscus tear and needed an MRI. My company they will not pay told me and if it affected my job I would be replaced. I was told that they never filled workman’s comp and the owner paid medical bills with credit card. What can I do?

You need to file a claim for worker's compensation benefits that cover temporary disability benefits , ongoing medical treatment and a settlement for permanent disability and future medical care.

You are able to file your own workers' compensation claim. You will need to initiate the claim with the Industrial Commission.

You should contact an attorney that handles workers compensation claims. It is likely that they have no w.comp insurance. You need an attorney!
