Legal Question in Workers Comp in Pennsylvania

Do I have a case????

I was injured on the job....went for medical care but was only treated for a concussion even though boxes hit me from a 6 ft high area and hit me on the head and back.....My hip area still hurts but the medial personnel the company sent me to released me. I am still in pain but havent seeked further mediacal help as I do not have insurance.The accident happend at my place of employment at the time. I have since quit since I was threatened with a write up for being out for 4 days during this injury under doctors order. They wished to write me up as I took a large amout of money to the bank and they claimed I should have came in injury or not. But my main question is since I am still in pain due to the injury do I have a case against my former employers and the medical organation that treated me.

If you were injured at work and your doctor relates your inability to work to the injuries, you can collect WComp. You do not have a cause of action against the co.'s doctors.
