Re: hurt on the job.

You always have the right to pursue the person who caused your injury. The exception is when the person is a co-employee of your employer, then it is possible but much more difficult. You also need to be aware that any recovery you receive is subject to a 100% lien by the workers compensation insurance company.Good Luck.
