live in Arkansa was working in Ky and my employer is based out

of Tx.
I was cleaning up at the end of the night and the ballast I was throwing away snagged or got hung up on something so instead of going in dumpster felll short and landed on my hand which resulted in an open fracture of the lefft ring

finger.
I told my supervisor at the door that I had hurt my

finger and was going to er to get stiches.

At hospital found out there was

exposed bone , was admitted , and had surgery the next day.

I was released the that evening.
My boss called later that evening and said have to have hosp drug test, I had already been released was

very heavily medicated in alot of pain and assumed after alll

the blood work, that what ever needed to be done was. . A few

days later when asking what ortho dr to go to and how to handle

billing my boss told me since I didnt go back to hosp and take

drug test My employer will not file work comp and that I couldnt

not file because I had not tested withing xx amount of time

after injury. So now im left with lots of hospital bills and no

dr will see me and i cant pay them and im off work for a month.

what can i do?
