Many people due collect unemployment compensation while waiting for or receiving workers compensation. However, you should know that the insurer will be entited to a credit against any compensation you would be entitled to for the weeks you are on unemployment compensation. You should be very clear in providing notice of the injury to your supervisor at your employment, you must give notice within 120 days of the injury. If the insurer wrongfully withholds benefits, you may also be entitled to benefits. You should definately consider filing a worker compensation claim and/or hiring a workers compensation attorney. Timothy P.
