Yes, you can file a WC claim. As to what will happen when the business is no longer in existance, that depends on the fine print of the WC insurance contract between the employer and their insurance carrier, and/or your State's WC regulations.

P.S. Just because you believe it's work-related doesn't mean it is. Many individuals are certain some ache or pain is caused by work which cannot be medically substantiated. Regardless, you're free to file a WC claim and see what determination on liability is made.
