If you reported the injury when it happened, your employer should have filed a report of injury with the Commission. It is your responsibility to report a work injury within 30 days, preferably in writing. If benefits are owed to you, you need to file a claim for them with the Commission. However, if they paid the medical bills they do not owe any wages unless you have been medically unable to work and they do not have to pay for the first 7 days until you are out for 21 days. They also do not have to pay for any time after you leave their employment unless you are medically unable to work and seeking other employment.
