You cannot sue an employer but you can file a worker's compensation claim. You must have filed notice with your employer.

If you were an employee, you would be entitled to workers compensation. If you were a subcontractor, then you could only sue the property owner if he/it DID something, or FAILED TO DO something which CAUSED your injury. If no fault, no claim.
