Yes, you are entitled to compensation if you did in fact injure yourself at work. Since you are in the Sacramento area (I'm only about 400 miles from you), I recommend that you contact a local applicant's attorney to help you open a case against your employer.

Allow me to give quick advice. When you interview law firms, ask to have your interview with the lawyer, instead of a secretary. If you cannot make the appointment with the lawyer, then use that as a tip as to how your case will be handled.

Good luck.
