If your employer has workers' compensation insurance, call a workers' compensation attorney to help you. If your employer does not have workers' compensation insurance, call an employment law attorney to help you.
You need to file a Workers Compensation claim. Your doctor should have the forms and do so for you, or you can do so directly with the employer. Contact a WCAB attorney for help, your case sounds substantial enough to interest them.
If the employer does not have WCAB insurance, then they are liable for payment of your medical bills the same way the insurance would have, including disability leave if required. If that is the case, then feel free to contact me for the legal help you'll need.
It appears that you have a head injury and you need to see a neurologist. You need to file a claim for worker's compensation benefits that cover temporary disability benefits , ongoing medical treatment and a settlement for permanent disability and future medical care.
