Usually not, unless you can prove your injury did not happen at work and having it listed as such was an error (made by someone other than you).
I know being injured is the worst, dealing with people who want to give their 2 cents worth about your medical care is the pits, but if you have to be injured there are worse things than WC. Not suggesting you (or anyone) should take advantage - just think you should know what you are entitled to. Because WC only pays for these things if you know they are supposed to. (Check out what the particulars are for the state you live in.)
Assuming an injury occurred at/or was caused by - work
+ WC vs STD the benefits to WC :
+ WC payments do not have to be claimed on your taxes - (STD is taxed)
+ Receive WC and state benefits if you are taking a hit on take home pay - the amount you receive by WC subtracted from what you are entitled to on STD - STD makes up the difference.
+Your ability to see a doctor is guaranteed: If you don't like the doctor WC sends you to, you
have the right to a second opinion and after 30 days the right to see a doctor of your choice.
+WC pays for many services that most standard insurances won't (like acupuncture - massage - psych care - without deductibles or arbitrary limits - hospital care 100%)
+WC doesn't stop paying after x amount of time just because x amount of time passed.
+WC pays pharmacy - including OTC - if your doc orders it.
+WC pays for other services or equipment (durable medical) that STD won't cover.
+WC pays gas mileage.
+WC will retrain you if you are unable to return to U&C employment.
