Yes. Your rights under the Workers' Compensation Act are completely independent of your employment status. In fact, technically an injured worker can receive benefits under a claim for his/her entire life.Your medical treatment should be provided to you on the same basis as if you were paying cash for it...and you should insist that your doctor do so. Also, medical treatment often continues after a release to regular duty.
