On workers comp, I believe they have to return you to your original job. If you were out on a non-worker's comp illness, they wouldn't. If you missed time from work and/or had serious medical bills, most US employers will bend over backwards to accommodate you. If you take extra time that's not medically required under workers comp, they don't have to hold the same job for you.
The answer above is wrong. If a worker returns from FMLA leave, even if it was not for a work injury, he/she MUST be returned to the former job, even if the employer must fire a replacement to create the vacancy.
That IS NOT true under state WC. If the employer eliminated your job while you were gone, you return to no job. The employer cannot fire you BECAUSE of a WC claim, but can eliminate jobs as necessary to employer survival.
You can be terminated for any reason at all, except those that violate a statute.
Yes this is possible but not neccasarily.

No. Workers compensation is completely exempt from federal tax if the payments are made under a workers compensation act for injuries occurring in the course of employment. They are also exempt from state tax. They aren't included as income.

Employers are generally required to carry Workers Compensation Insurance. If an employee is injured in the course of employment, Workers compensation pays medical costs and the like and the worker is prevented from suing the employer because of the injury.

The law that provides accident insurance for workers is typically workers' compensation laws, which vary by country and state. These laws require employers to provide insurance benefits to employees who are injured or disabled as a result of their job. Workers' compensation covers medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs for employees who are injured on the job.
A worker injured in the course of employment ("on the clock") and the scope of employment (performing assigned duties) is covered - other workers are not covered.

One can file a worker's compensation claim through the state disability office. Some places of employment also have offices inside the company where you can files claims.
There is really no best company that provides workers compensation. The compensation varies by state and there are some states that have been known to have poor workers compensation such as California.
