An employee can not sue his employer for an on the job accident; Workers' Compensation covers you and they pay a set amount for each percent of permanent disability. If a subcontractor was at fault for your being injured, you can sue that subcontractor, but you must show they were negligent.

If someone other than your employer or another employee of the same company is at fault for your injury then you can sue that person and/or company responsible for your injury. Otherwise, you can only obtain compensation from the employer's workers' compensation. insurance carrier as permitted by the Labor Code. You should hire a workers' compensation attorney who can refer you to a personal injury attorney if you can sue someone.
