你需要在網上搜一下你所在州的申報及批準程序。
The workers' compensation system protects employees and employers. Employees receive medical treatment and are compensated for lost wages associated with work-related injuries and diseases, while employers provide for the cost of such coverage and are shielded from direct lawsuits by employees.
這個申報對你有利,因為申報後,你是否有因工作環境引起疾病的問題由州政府來決定,州政府不會與你的單位和管理聯合起來霸淩你,如果他們敢,和政府打官司得到的賠償比告一個單位多的多。
因為工傷賠償的欺詐行為很多,申述起來比較麻煩,比如去單位指定的專門的醫院做進一步檢查等等,最好找一個好律師來幫你申訴。
題外的話:大丈夫能屈能伸,該認輸時就認輸。建議你加緊找工作,在單位開除你之前走掉。
