First off I do not understand why no one that has a workers comp claim doesn't not go get a comp lawyer. workers comp pays for the comp lawyer. I would call the insurance company and ask why. then go get comp lawyer.
Yes you do have to be injured at work to receive workers comp. That is why there are different types of leave from work due to injury. Workers comp is what you claim when injured at work. If you are injured away from work but cannot go back to work you would file under either short term or long term disability depending on how long you were required to be off for.
