You still have time to make a claim, you should talk to an attorney about filing for you. The number one priority now would be to make sure you have provided notice to the employer of the injury and its relation to work. There is a short time period to provide notice, 120 days, and failure to do so could jeopardize your benefits. You need to properly manage your claim and be sure you are getting the right treatment and medical advice. I would talk to someone to handle the claim set up to be sure you are putting your case together appropriately, especially if this is a severe injury (which you don’t know yet)
