Generally, Michigan law prohibits employees from suing their employers for damages, beyond the economic benefits provided by workers’ compensation. However, you may be able to take legal action against the manufacturer of a defective product or against an individual (other than a co-worker) who caused the injury. If you have questions about your potential legal claims, you should talk with a Michigan workers’ compensation lawyer.
