It's easy for us to confirm if your employer had work comp insurance. If they didn't then your claim is against the Uninsured Employer's Fund set up by the State of Cal. Did you report the injury? Was it personal or company doc that says you require surgery? An employer cannot legally discriminate against you as a result of your injury or disabilty, if they do, then you have separate civil case against employer. Call (818) 986-2555 asap.
