Some states do not permit employee suits as long as employer has workmans comp. This happened to my wife. About your only solution is to get disability from Social Security, and it will probably take years.

Here is the main question I have for you.....Were you in anyway at fault(now! be honest!)Did you initiate the injury due to improper safety procedures. You can't blame your boss because if you do It's your word against theirs and they usually win if you are going to sue target the company not the employer that way it won't be a me against my boss thing because you more than likely will lose. If you were not at fault then your good to go and be live me the law has ways of getting the truth out because if you lied about it and signed your name to a document or testified under oath then you have serious problems. I've been working for almost 29 years and belive me employers will more likely higher someone who is truthful and honest as is safety conscious on the job.
If you were fired was it because your employer found falsified documents. And last but not least what is the Dept of Labor doing giving employees workers comp for 15 months anyway workers comp is not a long term thing it is meant as a short term compansation to pay your bills related to your injury while you recover from a on the job injury that was truly the falt of your employer which mean the company you work for not your boss. I was on workers comp for 4 months and I belive that you can only be on workers comp for 6 months max I do know my time almost expired.....someone corrrect me if I am wrong. Anyway good luck and remember if you are under oath and you lie......Well, I feel sorry for you !
P.S. Sounds To Me Like You Need S.S.D.I. If you are that injured obviously you can't work so you will have to collect S.S.D.I. and sit around the house and feel sorry for yourself......Or mabye grow up ! What do you think !

Somehow I don't think your telling us everything. It wouldn't matter if your onWC or not that has nothing to do with any Civil Court action you may take in the future. WC is not a settlement I would like to know who told you this bunch of horseradish, because it doesn't make one hell of a lot of sense. If your empoyer or supervisor were negligent they are liable for your injuries and thats all there is to it. I agree with another person thats says your shamming because 98% of all accidents at the worksight is by the victim of the injury and not anybody else, besides I don't think you could prove negligence on their part

You can sue. You have to be diligent about finding an attorney who will take your case. It has nothing to do with Workman's comp. A medical insurance company Will not pay for a job injury, or if they did pay they would get it back from them. You need to express to your doctor and any lawyer that you speak to how much pain you're still in. Good luck

If you were covered by any health insurance company during your service in your earlier job, you are supposed to get all sorts of supports for your illness if it occurred during your health insurance coverage period. However, if you were not covered or there were some clauses in the coverage plan that the range of the coverage is limited in some points, you may not get supports more than that.
If your illness is diagnosed to be due to the negligence of your supervisor, not due to your own negligence, then, you have right to sue against your supervisor as well as against the employer.
It is not clear, who is not permitting you to sue. However, you may talk to a local lawyer in this regard. But it is really sad and I feel your situation. I bless for your earliest recovery.

Who told you that you couldn't sue? My guess is a lawyer told you that you have no cause of action here - in which case, by all means get a second opinion from another lawyer, but if they agree with the first you'll have to accept there is no legal recourse in this case.

If your WC claim is open, not settled, then you can go to a lawyer and get the ball rolling. If you have settled for a cash pay off, then you are on your own.

Probably because they can see right through your scamming BS.
Just like I could after reading a couple of sentences from you.
