Get a lawyer who deals with workman's comp cases. I shattered my ankle on the job years ago and they didn't want to pay for it. The attorney took my case for nothing up front-just a portion of what he got for me. Plus, I ended up getting a life-time award for my injury so they have to pay for any treatment I need for my ankle (I'm getting the whole ankle replaced soon) for the rest of my life.
Good luck!

if your company does not have compensation for work related injuries than you should consider seeking legal help.
i would talk to a lawyer before you talk to an insurance adjuster as well
they often lead you down a path that forces a settlement
often injuries and the effects of injuries do not show up until later
if you have something that will effect you for a long time, this may not be obvious right away so settling early may have you having to pay out of pocket when your insurer or employer should be assisting
get a lawyer or legal advice so you end up get the care and compensation you need to have a safe, supported and successful recovery
also find out if your company deducts for worker's compensation
you may not be intitled to file an additional claim until your wcb claim is exhausted

Get an attorney, that's the only way to show them you mean business.
