The answer to your question depends upon may more facts. There could be a third-party claim or a claim against your employer if he did not carry workers comp. In this case, you have a two year statute of limitations. If there is no third party and your employer carried worker's comp, you may be entitled to collect more benefits there.

You need to meet with a work injury lawyer to determine your rights as soon as possible.
