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.
A compensation claim solicitor is the equivalent of a Workers Compensation attorney in the US. This is a lawyer who helps a person injured as a result of an accident at work receive compensation for their injuries through the court system.

For an injury claim to be made, the injury has to be done on the job and be such that it makes the duties of your job unperformable for any length of time. A doctor is the one that needs to assess the injury and file the claim with the workers compensation company. The assessment will then be made for the injured.

In California if you were actually performing work for your employer at the time you were injured it could be covered. You will need an attorney to litigate it because most carriers will initially deny the claim. It depends on the facts and witnesses.
In California you are in a better position if you filed a claim or told your employer you were injured and needed medical treatment before you walked off the job. Quitting is not a bar to workers comp under all circumstances, especially if you had previously reported the claim. You will probably need an attorney because your employer or carrier will likely deny the claim.
I would contact the Fair Trades Ombudsman and sue if my boss sacked me for claiming workers comp if I was injured at work. I believe it is very illegal for an employer to do this. Yes, you can be fired after you file a WC claim, but not BECAUSE you filed. IF your performance, absenteeism, misconduct earned you discharge, WC does not prevent it.
Yes, because Police must have a certain level of fitness to take down bad guys. Its part of the job.
If a worker is injured in the course of employment, he/she must claim workers comp. Whether he/she gets fired later for any reason has zero effect on the comp benefit.
