I have been off work since Jan. of this year due to a foot injury. I had a bad heel spur with a fracture. Also a gangleane cyst which I have yet to treat. I have worked on my job for almost four years. My job requires me to be on my feet and do some heavy lifting. Also daily typing and use of my hands. I was working when all of these injuries happened but did not know about workman's comp. I spoke with a lawyer who said it may be hard to prove as an on the job injury but will need all my medical papers to prove. Also had a baby a year ago which also put more pressure on my feet and body to the point where I was swelling and had a pregnancy condition called edema. My job was paying me but only for one hundred and fifty days. That has now run out so now I have to give up my job insurance cause I can't afford to pay anymore. I have two kids to support and was suppose to be married at the end of June. How am I suppose to do any of that now? Just had surgery. Please help me?

Check with your Department of Labor in your state and hopefully you havent gone past your time limit of filing.
