There are circumstances where you can receive workers compensation and sue for additional damages. There would have to be a third party who caused your injuries...not your employer or your co-employees. Examples are: (1) If another company/person caused your injury, or (2) if you were hurt because of a piece of equipment that was designed improperly; in those cases you may have another claim. I'd be happy to speak with you.
