Claiming Workmans Comp after injury

[rhitman37]

I am trying to find out if I can still claim workmans comp. A little over a year I passed out at work and was rushed to the hospital where I was told I had pneumonia which was why I collapsed and was why my right shoulder was hurting. I continued feeling bad and having trouble breathing. So after xray's, cat scans, pet scans, Surgery to remove what they thought might be cancer I finally have been diagnosed with nerve damage from lifting something heavy at work. The damage has left me with a right arm that I can barely lift over my head and hurts on a daily basis and a Diapragh that doesn't work which has allowed my lung to deflate leaving me only one good lung. I have accuried hugh doctor bills because my company does not provide insurance. So can I claim workmans Comp to help to finish paying my medical bills? If anyone can help me please let me know.
