If you were injured at work and the employer owns the premise where the injury took place (sometimes you can sue for personal injury if the employer leases the property from someone else), then work compensaiton is your exclusive remedy under Michigan law. There is an exceptionally small exception to this rule which has not been sucessfully litigated in probably about 10 years,. That exception is if you can prove that the employer intentionally harmed you. If you have lost your work comp claim then it won't matter because the law would not permit you to sue again. You may still have time to appeal though. Along with the firm identified below, you could call Edgar and Chowing at (810) 695-2110. They may have a name of a firm closer to you that does work comp law.
