Legal Question in Personal Injury in Pennsylvania

chemical burn

I work in a warehouse that supplies soap and chemicals to companies. I was loading a truck and a container of dry cleaning solution fell and exploded the top off it. The chemicals splashed up and hit me in the face and eyes causing burns to my eyes. Do I have cause for a lawsuit?
