    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)
