More details to this question:
I got hurt on my job by another employee. I was home for three months and when I went back to work they gave my position to someone else whom they hired only about eight months now and I have been on the job three years now. What action can I take at this time? They are also making the job harder for me since I am not even fully recovered from my injuries.

If your injury was caused on the job by another employee and no third party was involved then, as a general rule, Workers compensation is your only avenue with respect to "pain and suffering" . I suggest you contact a Workers Compensation attorney. Regarding your treatment upon your return you may have a claim against your employer under the American with Disabilities Act.
