You should have done something a long time ago. There is in general a requirement that the employed report the injury as soon as possible but certainly within one year. You should immediately call your former employer and see if they are treating this as a WC case and if not file an employee's first report of work injuiry.
You need to go to an expert in WC law to try to sort all of this out. If you can not find someone, we could taking for 15 minutes or so without any charge. 510-441-2684
