You should consult an attorney. But this sounds like a work related injury and therefore, it may be a workers compensation claim. It may also be a personal injury claim againsta negligent third party assuming that you were injured by a product manufactured by a third party (other than by Toyota) or by an individual that was not employed by Toyota. If the injury was due to a third party's negligence (not Toyot's) that party would be responsible for all related losses such as medical expenses, lost earnings, pain and suffering and perhaps more. I would have to know more about how you were injured. As to any misconduct by Toyota the question is how you were deprived of work opportunities. You shouldd seek the adivise of an attorney and could look for an appropriate employment attorney at www.cela.com An employer does have a duty to reasonalbly accommodate a employee injured on the job.
