You have seveal options, one is a discrimination cliam in workers' comp. However, in order to prevail you must prove that you are able to perform your job, or go back to your job. The other is an ADA accommodation claim, or EEOC discrimination claim relating to the employer's failure to make a reasonable attempt at accommodating your injury.
