What can i do about a fall ?

i fell resulting in injury which required surgery . i''m in therapy , have loss of alot of sensation in the area that was injured . i may not be able to return to the work i am currently doing . they have decided that it was not their fault and will only pay the emergency room visit . they asked my for a statement which i gave all i know is that i bent over and when i stood up i went over the side . i fell 5 feet . there should have been a safety rail of some sort and they should have made sure that passengers boarding the train moved to the far end . i am falling behind on my basic ability to support my family due to my loss of income . i want to know what i can do to try to get this resolved if anything . i am afraid . after i stated that i was going to have to look else where to resolve this , the claims company told me that they would send me a letter as to what their decision was in the matter and that they may , since i am going to talk to '' outside sources '' hold the check covering the emergency room visit which they agreed to pay from the first conversation . can you help me or point me in the direction i need if there is one ?
