You had posted this question before and three of us had answered it. You have not given us any information that shows someone besides your employer may have had any fault for the accident, so it seems that your only remedy is through Workers' Compensation. Are we missing some information that would allow you to sue someone else?
Even if you could sue someone beyond your employer, no attorney can tell you how much you will get without having much more information and your condition having become stable [your having had surgery to get the maximum positive result]. The WC carrier will have the right to get back the benefits it has paid you.
You have to file a Worker's Compensation claim and application with a WCAB Boards. This is not a personal injury case. Feel free to call us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation.
