Can I File for Workmans Comp If I Lose My Job or get Terminated?

Yes.

If you have sustained a work injury, you can file a claim within 3 years of the date of injury or the date on which you believed your condition might be work related. Will your case be stronger if it's filed before a termination? Yes. But does a termination prevent you from filing? No.
