If your injury happened "on the job" and was the result of you performing ordinary activities on the job, you are covered by Workman's Compensation Insurance that your employer is required to provide. Contact the Dept. of Labor for the state where you live, and the division for Workman's Comp.. If still no action hire an attorney. You will fare better if you hire an attorney that specializes in Workman's Comp. cases. The attorney will collect his fee from a percentage of the overall settelment he gets for you.

Depends on how long the light duty will continue.
Yes - even in the absence of a workers comp policy, the employer is responsible for a work related injury
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.
no he cant unless he wants to remeburse u
you must file a workers comp. claim
An employer has to pay for all hours worked. Other than that, it needs to follow its own policies about paid time off. Workers comp laws do not require the EMPLOYER to pay - they require INSURANCE to pay lost time benefits.

In general an employee has no right under employment law to be paid while on sick leave. Consequently, it is at the discretion of the employer to decide his/her own policy on sick pay and sick leave, subject to the employee's contract or terms of employment.
Of course! Pull out a five dollar bill and see whose picture is on it! Lincoln eliminated slavery. If the employer doesn't pay--call the state employment people.
It will more than likely affect your claim. It will likely be concluded that you at least contributed to your own injury, and therefore the employer will not be as obligated to pay for your injury as it would if you were not under the influence of controlled substances.
