Can i get workman compensation because i got sick at work my supervisor yell at me nuese had to call 911

In NJ, you may be able to prevail in a Workers' Compensation claim if you have a disability which was caused by the job, if said disability is permanent, and if it causes you a functional loss.

Are there statute of limitations on a personal injury lawsuit

The short answer is that in NJ, there is a 2 year Statute Of Limitations for most personal injury matters. That time period begins to run from the date of the accident. There are certain exceptions where the Statute is from the time you knew or should have known of the alleged wrong, ie, some medical malpractice situations. Also, in Workers' Compensation cases in NJ, the Statute is 2 years from the 'payment of compensation' or the date of last authorized medical treatment.

I was fired after injuring my shoulder and back at work. The termination paper implied that I was being fired due to my injury

Each State has different laws. In NJ, if you were in a union, I would think that you would have more than 1 day to see if you could return to your job. In NJ, for example, you can not be terminated "in retaliation" of filing a claim, but you can be fired if you are unable to do the job, even if such is related to the job injury.

Can a debt collector really drag me to arbitration w/out having provided me w/proper debt validation first?

Worker's Compensation back injury.

For most personal injury cases, including workers' compensation claims, lawyers in many States work on a contingency basis. Accordingly, you should consult with a lawyer sooner than later. That does not mean that anyone will know you have consulted with a lawyer or that you will necessarily have a case. You usually will have much to gaim from getting free legal assistance and advice. Of course, if lawyers in your State require a fee in advance, then the general answer may be different....

Is it legal for your job to terminate you if you are out on workers compensation

Each State is most likely different. In NJ, if you are unable to work, due to a work accident, your job can legally terminate you. The thinking is that industry needs to move forward. You are still entitled to all workers' compensation benefits. It is illegal to terminate you in retaliation of you filing or making a workers' compensation claim. You should consult with an attorney in the State where jurisdiction would be for your particular case.

Should I respond to an offer to include myself in a class determination and partial class arbitration settlement?

It is difficult to answer your question because you have not provided any particulars regarding the facts or your harm. You should have the name of a Court and of the attorney(s) involved, and you should contact them to ascertain if this is a scam. If it is legit, you will have to weigh what you may get based on what your claim may be. Good luck!
