Can i sue a job for personal injury pain and suffering

Provided you did not suffer a "grave injury", they are correct.  If you were injured at work and the party responsible for your injury was your employer (as opposed to a third party) then your only recourse is through workers' compensation which will pay for your lost earnings and medical expenses.  You can only recover damages for pain and suffering in a third-party lawsuit, i.e. in a lawsuit against a party other than your employer.   Best regards,   Jonathan R.
