not quite sure what you mean by hour's needed, but an on the accident will get you workman's comp if that is the way you decide to go. you will only draw a portion of your gross just like unemployment. so my suggestion would be if you can work, use your health insurance instead if the employer will allow it. usually they would prefer to do that so the premiums don't increase.
