Re: workmans comp
Thank you for your question.
Please remember that it is very difficult to give full advice on limited information, and by e-mail. As is the case many times under the law, there is not necessarily a clear answer. Cases like this cases be very fact specific and further information may be helpful.
Typically, pain and suffering is not an available element of damages against an employer. Your remedies are probably limited to the Workers� Compensation system. For more information see: http://www.lewisdaggett.com/FreePublications/GuidetoWorkersCompensation/tabid/127/Default.aspx
