Re: workers compensation/disability
Your employer would still be responsible in providing your workmen's compensation benefits.
It is immaterial if it is your first day or last day on the job, an employer is responsible as long as your injury occurred within the course and scope of your employment.
I always advise injured employees to consult an attorney. Contact my office and we can set up a way to evaluate your case.
