Re: i need help
It appears that you were injured at work during the course of your employment. This work related injury falls under the Worker's compensation law of California. Contact an attorney that does this type of case. The local bar association can refer you to an attorney that does this type of law. There is no charge to you for the interview.
You should act quickly in contacting the attorney. The fact that the reports were not filed should not be a problem.
