Appeal the decision to deny your benefits. Most companies give benefits after the appeal. Also, you should get checked out by a doctor following your exposure. If you have medical issues or something that prevents you from returning to work because of the exposure, you may be able to make a workers compensation claim. You may also be able to sue your employer for worker's compensation retaliation. It will depend on what was said after you fell in the whole.
