Can I sue the site or security company if I tripped at work but wasn’t sent to the doctor and end up still hurting?

More details to this question:
I work as a security guard. One of my duties is to wand contractors when leaving the site. I tripped over the door strip when exiting the guardhouse, fell on asphalt and had a busting lip and knee. One week and three days later, I still have swollen knees, hips, and my lower back still hurts.

This would actually fall under the Workers' Compensation section. You need to report the injury to your work as a workers' compensation claim and seek medical attention for your injuries. If you are unsuccessful in submitting a claim or they deny your claim, I would seek help from a Board Certified Workers' Compensation Attorney to see if they can help you.
