A insurance provided by employers for injured employees. There is a provision in Texas law whereby an employer may elect not to purchase workmens' comp insurance. About 33% of Texas employers do not have WC insurance.
I believe you can sue both. Consult a lawyer.
Normally hours are not specified. It is only the condition of the employee that matters. By law the employer is required to 'return to light duty' the injured employee.
If you live in Nevada an employer does not have to. In fact the Nevada will defend the employer, if an employee is injured on the job and the employer does not have W/C Insurance. I've been though this.

You can choose a doctor only if your employer does not. Florida Statue 440.13 3(c) states if the employer fails to provide initial treatment or care required by this section after request by the injured employee, the employee may obtain such initial treatment at the expense of the employer.
Worker's compensation is insurance coverage for employees to compensate them in case they are injured while performing their job. The employer pays a premium that covers medical expenses and lost wages in case their employees are injured. If these benefits are excepted the hurt employee must release the employer of further liability. The insurance company pays the claim and the employee can no longer sue the employer for the injury.
Workers compensation is supposed to be the sole remedy if you are injured on the job. ...and unless your employer was GROSSLY negligent, you cannot sue.
The employer is not required by law to pay out sick pay while an employee is collecting workman's comp. It depends on the employer though. In some cases an employer may pay earned sick pay to an employee collecting workman's comp. pay as a good will gesture, especailly to an employee who has had a very serious injury and has been a long term employee who has had few or no injuries.
Workers comp is a benefit associated with workplace inuries, not with lack of work. Employers never file for WC, injured employees do.
