If you have decent health insurance, DO NOT go through workers comp. “Their dime” isn’t worth 2¢ and they’ll delay so long irreversible consequences will result.
If you fall and break your leg at work, drag your one-legged ass to your car, drive home, call an ambulance, and say it happened there then use your insurance.
Never use workers comp unless you have no other choice. It’s not fair but it’s your health.

I don’t know, I only had 1 experience (small-ish explosion causing temporary hearing damage and temporary back pain). I had multiple witnesses, approved procedure by ehs rep and video evidence of adhering to procedure. Co-worker tried to “help” and caused it. Never even saw a bill or got a single call for money. I think it may just vary by company.
