I had an accident at work and I am still under pain a few hours ago the police pulled me over because I wasnt able to keep on my lane they just gave me a cortesy citation warning because I told the cop I was under pain because my accident I stoped and rested for a little bit can I take this courtesy citation to my workers comp upcoming hearing? because I hurt my head and my back.
and this problem is clearly related to my accident that sometimes I feel dizzy and with great headaches and they dont want to pay for my medical attention.

Document everything. Make a note of every telephone call. Your doctor can validate your injury. Your citation is can and should be taken to your workers comp hearing. You may ask that the officer who pulled you over also attend as a witness to what happened.

I would take all documentation that you can with you to the hearing. Unfortunately with the courtesy citation, it's possible that the response to it may be "You knew that you were suffering pain from the accident and should have known that you shouldn't be driving. Why did you not get a taxi or a friend to pick you up?"
I do wish you all the best in your hearing. Being injured at work is a bummer and often the response you receive from your employer and/or their insurance company is pitiful.
