Call and ask them. But, even if they had it, it's unlikely that it will do you any good if you're talking about a 2004 injury and have never made a claim.

I would contact HR at your old company and see if you had a policy. As Mr. Hamilton said, the time for reporting a claim has probably passed but it never hurts to ask.

If you never paid for it and didn't get any correspondence or policy booklet about it you probably didn't have long term, but if you are hurt on the job you would automatically have workers compensation unless your employer has less than 3 employees and doesn't have a policy. But you do have to bring a timely claim.

As the others have pointed out on here, a claim from more than 10 years ago will not likely survive even if there was some type of disability insurance. Also, you typically have to pay monthly for disability insurance and it sounds like you haven't been doing that. If you are suffering a disability, you should go to the Social Security office and file a claim. Mind you, most claims are denied instantaneously and you will likely need to hire an attorney to get what you deserve.
