In Michigan you receive workers compensation for any on the job injury. WC pays about 2/3 of your lost wage and for medical testing/treatment. It does not pay for any pain & suffering.

Your injuries are covered under worker's compensation laws for cumulative injuries like yours.: You need to immediately report your injury to your employer and file a claim for benefits such as temporary disability benefits.

If you suffer an injury or illness arising out of the employment, that is a workers compensation case.

A pink has very small value in a worker comp case. so don't overstate your case. your settlement will be small and will be based on what the doctor says about it, not what you say.

If injury was within scope of your employment, you have a workers compensation claim. You should have counsel.
