Certain coverages under Workers' Compensation can still apply, such as medical benefits for an injury sustained through the course of your work. However, it's not portable - meaning you can't take it with you like you often can take Health insurance under Cobra or any other arrangement. It will not apply to any new injuries or illnesses.

The purpose of the workers' compensation program is to provide employees who suffer job-related injuries a form of compensation unique from taking your employer to court. An employee injured on the job is guaranteed benefits regardless of who was At Fault. In return for workers' compensation benefits, employees usually forfeit the right to sue their employer in court for damages for their injuries.

You need to be an employee at the time of the injury and the injury must be work-related. The fact that you quit your job is not fatal to your claim provided that you meet the other requirements.
