Best Answer

In California you are in a better position if you filed a claim or told your employer you were injured and needed medical treatment before you walked off the job. Quitting is not a bar to workers comp under all circumstances, especially if you had previously reported the claim. You will probably need an attorney because your employer or carrier will likely deny the claim.
