FICA has nothing to do with workers' comp. FICA are the deductions for Social Security (Federal Insurance Contributions Act) and Medicare. State law usually requires workers' comp for businesses over a certain size. It covers work-related medical expenses. So you have to find out if your employer is required to have insurance, and if the harm you suffered is work-related. In other words, consult a WC lawyer.

Is FICA deduction before or after 401K deductions?

A deduction is made "pre-tax" if it avoids at least one form of taxation. Although contributions to "traditional" versions of 401(k) and 403(b) retirement plans, as well as 457 plans, are "pre-tax" deductions for purposes of Federal income tax, they ARE subject to FICA withholding. In contrast, Section 125 ("Cafeteria Plan") healthcare premiums are deducted before FICA liability is calculated.
