Best Answer

Let me preface my answers by stating that these are general guideline's in most states, so check with your local department of labor.

1)It depends on why your were let go. Typically, if you were fired or let go "for cause", generally you cannot collect unemployment.

2) If your inability to work is a result of an "on the job injury", you can collect Workers' Compensation insurance. Contact your Human Resources department to file a claim.
