You need to go an see a worker's compensation attorney right away. It seems as if things will not get any better but only worse if you wait any longer. You may also have a personal injury claim against a third party and you do not want the time to file your claim to run out. Bring with you a copy of the accident reports and any test results and reports from the doctor. Remember to keep the names and addresses of witnesses to what happened in a safe place for the attorney. Good luck.
