Legal Question in Workers Comp in New Jersey

I fell at work on 7-23-2011 ( Sat.). I hurt my back and arm & by the next morning felt I needed medical care. Went to the ER, x-rays were taken of lumabr, thoracic & lt elbow. The MD spent approx 30 seconds with me. I was given a pain med that made me ill. I reported my ER visit to my job as well as giving them. I also gave my employer a WC form provided by the hospial. I was also told no work x 2 days. Today the pain was worse in my back, with alot of pain in my lt hip traveling down to my calf. I reported this to my job @ 7:30 this morning. I finally got a call back stating that 'Corporate" wanted my perseonal infor, ie: address, SS# & phone number. This call was around noon. I told her I needed/wanted to see a doctor TODAY. It is almost 3:30 with no response from my employer. It is too late to see any doctor today.

How do I pursue this if they continue to me unresponsive?? ( I slipped and fell on a wet floor)
