Looks like, yeah, it was a worker's comp case from the get go. Private insurance, as well as Medicare, will routinely look to worker's comp as a first payer in work related cases.

Maybe you could follow up with your employee rep, or a worker's comp rep (your employer probably sub-contracts the coverage to a group coverage plan) for some compensation. A lot of it is the "small print" stuff and, as you've found, paperwork, paperwork.

File any and all documentation you have for the record.

Hang in there.
