Jason, workers' compensation is different in different states.
I assume that you gave notice to your employer at the time of
the injury and that you have preserved the statute of
limitations by filing a Petition with the appropriate state
agency. Workers' compensation usually is some percentage of
your pre-injury earnings. You generally do not have a right
to sue for pain and suffering but in some states there are
exceptions for such things as gross negligence.
