The answer here would depend on the severity of the injury and if the employee reported the injury to the employer. If there is a first aid station on the job site, did you seek treatment? If so the first aid report will be the first step. Minor injuries where a person can perform light duty jobs while healing, usually aren't paid for. Severe injuries that leave you unable to work usually are covered. This varies from one employer to another and what laws are in place in your geographical area. Be prepared for a lengthy wait, your case will be determined on anumber of factors,medical reports from your doctor and any doctors you are asked to see, it takes time to see the various doctors and therapists. Even more time for the reports to be received by the person or people who will determine whether or not you qualify for any sort of payment. In some cases you may need to hire an advocate or lawyer to represent you. This is especially important if you are taking medication that interfers with your cognitive and memory skills.

Do a company have to pay for hours worked if they file bankruptcy?

Yes... sort of. The employees are considered creditors of the company, so getting them paid is part of the bankruptcy proceedings. The bankruptcy court will determine which debts get paid and at what percentage. The basic rules are that secured debts (mortgages, for example) get paid first, but back wages are in the second tier of priority, and each employee gets a priority amount of around $10000 (the amount changes periodically; I'm not sure what the current amount is). If they're owed more than the priority amount, then the excess gets put further back in line, and may be paid at a lower rate (or not at all).
