I got hurt on my job after falling 30 feet. I feel that they should have had a net to catch someone if they fell. I can't work anymore and it hurts me to my soul.

Consult with an experienced Workers Compensation attorney because the company may have had insurance at the time of the accident. If they did not you may have a claim against the owners of the company personally.

Although the company closed, you may still have a workers compensation claim. Whether workers comp is possible depends on the status of coverage at the time of your injury. Your legal options really depend on the details of the claim, your employer at the time of the incident, insurance coverage issues, and the structure of the business closing.
