Workman's Compensation Insurance is governed by state law. Therefore it is not possible to give a definitive answer without knowing the state of residency. The information can be obtained by contacting the state's Labor Relations Board or the company's union representative if it applies. Please be advised that not all employers are required to participate in the WCI program.

Can you get paid in 1099 and still receive workers comp?
First. My answers are for U.S. Employees ONLY. If you're a 1099 employee and you work in any setting, You are covered by Workman's Comp. If you work for a company and they pay you 1099, but you work for them, same place every day, etc, they MUST carry Workmans Comp insurance to cover you. Now there are a couple of exceptions. For instance you are, or work for ABC cleaning company. If you submit a bill or a bill is submitted on your behalf to garner payment, then it is the bill generators responsability to cover you with Workmans Comp Insurance. If the employer informes you he does and will not carry this type of insurace, and you agree and sign off and are compensated for said lack of coverage, then your "employer" need not carry Workmans Comp Insurance on you. If you want complete details of who and what coverages need to be carried go to Google.com and search Workmans Comp rules & regulations for YOUR STATE or Country, as all states/countries vary a small amount.

Most definitely! If workman's comp refuses to pay for your time off and doctor bills, you need to contact a lawyer. There are many lawyers who specialize in just this area(workers comp claims) and will be able to guide you through the process and help you get the compensation you deserve. While the lawyer will cost you money(usually about 1/3 the settlement), it is well worth it since the lawyer will allow you to get compensation in a larger amount than you likely could have gotten on your own.
