Yes you can if it occurred on the job. Provide notice to your HR department as soon as possible.

Yes. You need to report your injury to your employer and immediately seek medical treatment. You need to file a WCAB claim form and identify all effected bodyparts and medical conditions. Feel free to call us at 213.388.7070 to discuss what forms you need to fill out to open a claim for worker's compensation benefits.
Of course, but you must report your injury to your employer immediately and request that they send you for medical treatment. If they fail to do so, you then get medical control, which means that you can pick your own treater.
I would be glad to offer you a free consultation providing you call me at 1.877.505,INJURY.
