Under workers' comp you are only entitled to payment of medical expenses, indemnification for loss of income while you are out of work, and if it is determined you have a permanent injury, compensation for that. Pain and suffering is not a factor. If there was a third party (someone not employed by your company) that was the cause of your injury and who was negligent in doing so, you could bring an independent lawsuit against that party which would expose them to non-economic losses (like pain), but any recovery would be subject in part to a worker's comp lien for any benefits you received from that. Contact an attorney who specializes in workers' comp and perhaps also personal injury law for further assistance.
