Q: Can I still sue my employer from a injury that happened in February of 2017 even if I just settled a workers comp.claim.
I'm gonna be unable to work because my injury will always be a part of my everyday life. A box slammed down on my left hand between my thumb and wrist and has left a large knot that hurts when lifting things and excessive usage causes it to swell. Doctors have named it chronic pain syndrome and also says my condition is labeled as Permanently and Stationary Disabled. My injured hand has caused my right hand to be overwhelmed with the pain as well because I'm always making up for my injured hand which is my left hand.
A:
you are asking a workers comp question on a PI or Criminal law forum.
hopefully, you had a lawyer on the WC case and that is to whom you should pose the question.
WC is usually the solution for work injuries and you should have been paid for future meds too.
contact a WC lawyer asap.
