Thank you sir.
I know it probably varies but do you know the average time it takes to get approved? 28 days is killer.
It depends on how well the employer cooperates or if they fight your claim, you should see your first check in 14 days.
This is all explained in the above link to the BWC.
BWC does not pay benefits for the first seven days of an injury until you have been unable to work for 14 or more consecutive days. Once you have missed 14 or more consecutive (calendar) days, BWC will compensate you for the total number of days missed.

You need to consult and retain a lawyer, something's obviously not going the way it should.
