I work at a group home and was injured. I had planned to give notice before the injury and still want to. I am seeing a Dr..Do they still have to pay my bills?

Yes. Your rights under Workers Compensation are based on the injury at work and how your treatment goes after that. Payment for your treatment should not be affected.
If you aren't able to go back to work right now, I would talk to an attorney in your area who does Workers Compensation cases for advice before giving notice. One place you can find a qualified lawyer is our website, http://attorneypages.com
