industrual commission?

[bennett]

my husband fell off a bardge in nov. of 99 in indidana. he reported it to his supervisor but was given 'light' duty instead of wc. as a result of the three compression fractures in his back, he's in constant pain, has had one back surgery (spinal fusion) and has been told he has to have a second one but we no longer have regular insurance or the cash to pay out of pocket for this second surgery.

now that's just the backstory.

i resently finished pre-lisencing school for property and casualty insurance in NC where we now live. during that course i found out about the industrial commission that deals with 'disputes' about wc. i've tried to find the website for the one in indiana, and haven't been able to. where would i find contact information for this commission? since it happened in indiana we have to 'file' it with the indiana commission.

only if it's covered by state work comp insurance.
Barge work sounds like US L& H.
