QUESTION
Can I sue for personal damages if I was a subcontractor and got no worker's compensation?

More details to this question:
I fell on the job. The safety handrail gave way and I fell 15 feet from 2nd story loft. I shattered both ankles and right wrist. I was a subcontractor and got no workerscomp. I had surgery and the hospital bills over $75000. I have my own business lic taking losses over $8000 per month already and I'm 3 months in. I'm thinking about suing for personal damages.

You might have a case against whichever other contractor was responsible for putting up the safety handrail. Talk to a personal injury lawyer right away.
