I have been having major issues with a new boss. Today at work someone mopped out a freezer unknown to me and the floor was a sheet of ice and islipped and my back is in severe pain. While I was filling out my first report of injury my boss came in and fired me for a non related issue can I still file for workmans comp or just unemployment I live in ill.

You can file for workers comp to pay for any doctors bills or treatment .
Also why did they fire you, was there grounds for the "other reason" or was the real reason getting hurt ?

Actually you may be able to collect your wages from workers comp, since you are not able to find work. ( I may be wrong but I would try)
