If I was injured at work and workers comp is paying for all medical, can I sue for pain and suffering
I slipped in a puddle of water on the floor and landed on both knees. Went to the doctor and nothing broken, just badly bruised. I’m in a lot of pain getting ready for physical therapy.The place i work for is a non- profit organization.
