What to do if I was hospitalized for exposure to an unknown chemical that was accidently put into a wash tank at my workplace?

I had become very faint and dizzy; my blood pressure got very high. I was released about 6 hours later and felt OK. I was exposed when I was told to drain the tanks. I see the worker’s comp doctor today and expect to be OK’d to return to work ASAP. I am not sure if I should or can take any legal action for this.
