Yes you still have a workers compensation case and should consult with a work comp attorney. The employer will be liable for your injury, including any increase on the injury due to their delay and failure to follow the rules. While taken off work you may be entitled to temporary disability benefits at 2/3rds of your wages, and once recovered you may be entitled to permanent disability settlement amount and future medical care for your shoulder for the rest of your life.
