Do you have a employees handbook that tells you how on the job injurys are handled? you may not have any rights in the U.S. at all...I dont know do you have a employee handbook?

I do have rights under the base defense act. Which is required bt the department of labor for government contractors. I was injured on a US Navy Base, therefore I am covered. I do not have a handbook, but everything has been handled in a professional manner by the IC. I have had two surgeries that have been paid for without any problems, and the checks are always on time.
