As a general rule, the answer is no. The law provides that employers cannot be sued when workers are hurt on the job. However, they are required to provide workers compensation coverage for their injured employees. This includes payment of wage loss benefits for the time missed from work and payment of medical bills for the injury. Workers Compensation is considered a No-Fault Law, so these requirements are regardless of who was at fault for your injury.
