One option would be to seek the counsel of an attorney who specializes in workman compensation claims. The attorney would more than likely refer you to a physician for examination and evaluation of the injury. Or the person could obtain their own medical evaluation and submit it through the appeals process.

Should I report my employer for not having workman's comp?
Some states have exemptions for employers with a low number of employees or for other reasons, like if all "employees" are partners. Rather than report your employer, which I guess is an option, you might ask your employer why they don't carry Workers' Comp. If you feel comfortable expressing this concern to them you can let them know that obtaining a quote can give them some key data on which to make a decision. Maybe you'd be a good person to head that up for them and increase your value to the company. Some employers don't realize they're still liable even if they don't have coverage, or that it's better to have a low limit on the coverage or carry an alternative like Occupational Accident (where available & appropriate) than to go "bare."

Can a bank garnish workman's compensation benefits?
It's not the bank that garnishes your check. It's the person or business you owe money to that does that. If your pay checks are being garnised for child support or anything else, then I do believe that they can garnish this too. The reason I think this is because unemployemnt checks can be garnised for child suport. This does not automatically happen though. The child support agency has to be notified that the payer is receiving unemployment. Then the child support agency intercepts the unemployment check and takes the amount owed. I know this because my daughter's father was receiving unemployment and I notified the child support agency. If I hadn't done that he would not have paid it. Hope this helps! * States establish income and property exemption laws, the majority of states consider WCI as disability and it is protected from judgment creditors. As noted previously WCI, unemployment and other disability and public benefits can be garnished for court ordered child support. It is important to keep all exempted funds separate from other income. Commingling funds in single or joint accounts can result in the account being "frozen" until the court decides which portion of the funds can be exempted from levy.
Are you paid for the first week out of work on workmans comp as back pay?
Typically the first week is not paid. If you have accured time such as vacation, personal or the like or you have short term disability you can usually use this to compensate.
It is going to depend on why your knees gave out. In Michigan, the Workers' Compensation Act states that an employee is entitled to Workers' Compensation Benefits if their job caused, accelerated or aggrevated an underlying condition. Consequently, you would have to prove that your job caused your knees to give out or accelerated or aggrevated some condition which then caused your knees to give out. How do you do this? You have to have an accurate job description that will show how it affected your condition and you will need medical records and a supporting physician to indicate that your job caused, accelerated or aggrevated your condition which in turn caused your knees to give out and thus made you fall and break your wrist.
