You are covered by Worker’s Comp insurance and they will pay for all medical costs and a portion of your lost wages. Part of the reason WC exists is so that employees CANNOT sue their employers. However, DO NOT sign off any type of settlement with the insurance company. At that point you WILL want to get a: workers comp attorney to negotiate the highest possible settlement. This is especially true in cases with permanent disability arising from the injury.
