IT depends on how the injury occurred
Usually you cannot sue your own company for a comp injury. In certain very limited circumstances you can. If you would like to discuss this with me please feel free to write of call 5853195334

Re: work injury
Well workers' compensation is, for the most part, the exclusive remedy for workplace injuries, and prevents you from bringing any "direct" action against your employer. If there are other entities involved--the owner of the property or a general contractor--who are not your direct employer, you might have a right to seek relief from them; or if you were injured as a result of a product defect, an action against the manufacturer of that product might also be possible.
