Asked on Jun 22nd, 2013 on Workers Compensation - Florida
More details to this question:
I was off the clock leaving, and sprained my ankle. I thought it wasnt as bad as it was and left for home. Then I had to go to the ER to have it checked out and when I did they told me it was workmans comp. Now my employer is saying it will be declined but they will pay the ER and followup doctors visit. No walk ins want to see me since I have no ins and it was a workmans comp case. I dont know what to do.

This would be covered by workers' comp if it occurred in California, assuming you were still on the employer's premises. You should make sure your employer actually files a claim with its work comp insurance company.
You must talk to a workers' compensation attorney in Florida for the actual answer to your question. Each state has different laws and rules.
