If your employer's representative as careless in submitting the disability insurance coverage form that you desired and as a result you do not have coverage for the disability that you suffered, your employer based upon the facts that you have written about should be responsible for covering what you would have been insured for out of his or her own pocket.
I suggest that you consult with a labor law attorney as to what your legal options are concerning the matter that you have written about.
