It's called numbing
and is common with PTSD.
He needs help from a professional (Psychotherapist) to help him process what has happened. Unfortunately, I don't know how you deal with workmans comp on this

I'm afraid he is very good at masking his symptoms/mental state at any given time however, and I often misjudge his frame of mind or ability to engage in conversation or problem-solving.

Also very common. I learned to "fake it" and did so quite a bit, but I could only do so for a short amount of time before I closed myself in my room.
You might try the PTSD forum at:
http://forums.psychcentral.com/ It is the sister site to this one. You might find more help as well as more people to talk to on psychcentral than here.
You are still welcome to post here also
Take care
