A: You should consult with a worker's compensation attorney. Most attorneys will provide a free consultation to review your rights and recommended courses of action. You may be entitled to wage loss. The fact that the employer did not file with worker's compensation until April 1 may not be a factor but you should check on this as well. Good luck.
