Then you should get a notarized statement that they will pay for all your medical bills, with paid time off and also any rehabilitation that is needed.
They don’t want their worker’s comp insurance premiums to go up, so they are discouraging you from filing a claim. Do it anyway. Anytime you are injured on the job, you have the right to file a worker’s comp claim and it’s the employers responsibility to see that you do.
It’s not up to them. You file your claim with the comp board and let your company contest it, if they dare. Be sure you document their objections to you and your supervisor, and keep a copy of those documents for yourself somewhere other than your workplace.

Not their choice. Unless they are offering to pay for al the bills outright, I’d file.

File anyway. It’s your right, and if you don’t, you get cheated out of the medical care you need.
