More details to this question:
I was hurt on the job on August 22, 2016. I am going to an insurance doctor for the first time on October 10. My lawyer said that it’s up to the doctor if I get a workers comp check. I got a hernia on August 22. I would think that I can get a temporary disability check.

You should ask your attorney as that is what you will pay him for. ?But, yes, if the Dr. finds that the injury was caused or aggravated by your work, you should start receiving temporary disability checks while you can not work, starting from the first day off work.
