Your Husband needs to fill out the Claim form for his injury. This will turn the claim to the employer's Work Comp carrier.

If your husband is going to be out of work for an extended time, have the doctors certify him for state disability (SDI), until the Work Comp carrier accepts the claim and begin to pay benefits.
