I was recently terminated from my job while under a doctors care and an open workers comp case. If I am collecting workers comp benefits, can I also collect unemployment?

Only if you commit fraud. To receive UE benefits, you must pledge that you are not only looking for work but will willing and able to accept it. To be eligible for the WC benefit (TTD), you must be temporarily, totally disabled. It is impossible to be both "willing and able to work" and "totally disabled" at the same time.
