claim form needs to be filed with temp agency. If Dr. certifies you off work (temporarily disabled) you should start receiving temporary disability benefits. In addition, you may have a CIVIL case against the entity/persons who obstructed the walkway. From THAT case you would recover any wage loss.

You need to consult with an attorney who would immediately refer you to a treating doctor and if the doctor determines that you are unable to work, certify you for disability. Feel free to call us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation.
