No. Unemployment is for people who are ready, willing, and ABLE to work (and they must continue to look). And most claims when people have quit are denied anyway. The employer gets the chance to respond to the claim and the unemployment office makes a determination.

You are temporarily disabled, possibly, depending on doctor's statement and type of work required. But if your job doesn't have benefits for that, you are out of luck.
