I'm from Florida. I got hurt on the job and told a fellow employee that I got hurt on the same day. I didn't think it was that serious, but it was. Went to have surgery about 5 weeks after it happened. I tried to file short term disability and the insurance company told me it was a work comp case. Is it too late to file a work comp claim to try a get some kind of pay for the month I was out of work?
 
Possibly, but you'll never know unless you try. The worst that can happen is that you're turned down, in which case you're no worse off than you are now.

In fact, it's possible that if you are able to show the STD carrier a denial from the workers comp carrier, they may pick up the claim.

So while I'm not going to make you any guarantees, it's definitely worth your while to try.
