Yes, you can in many states, as long as it is believed that the injury wasn't caused by your own negligence, etc. Workers compensation is regulated at the state level. I would suggest you contact the Oklahoma Workers Compensation Enforcement Division. Their website is at: http://www.state.ok.us/~okdol/workcomp/workcomp%20FAQ.htm

Let me know if you have any other questions.
