You are covered by workers compensation. So, have the lousy doctor send you to a competent doctor. Get a second opinion.

You need to file a claim for worker's compensation benefits that cover temporary disability benefits, ongoing medical treatment and a settlement for permanent disability and future medical care.

First of all, how you got hurt on that piece of equipment is important. You could possibly have a third party case. Third party claims are not subject to the recovery limits imposed by the compensation laws. Your exclusive remedy against your employer for an on the job injury is for comp benefits and they are severely limited.

You should get a lump sum settlement depending on the opinion of the dr, your average weekly wage, and your age. it wont be enough to carry you through so you will need other support get you a good lawyer.

In Michigan you collect workers compensation from your employer/their insurer for your wage loss and they pay for your medical care and treatment that is on the job injury related. If there was an individual/company, other than a co-employee/employer, responsible for negligently repairing/altering the machine that caused you injury you may have a case against them (3rd party case), but these can be expensive to present and your damages would have to be sufficient to allow such a claim to be pursued. Further, such a case will have a lien on it re any work comp benefits paid to you (so any recovery $ must be sufficient to cover the costs, pay the lien, pay you and pay your attorney).

Worker's comp covers medical expenses and time out of work. You cannot sue your employer for negligence and damages for "pain and suffering" is not available. If you have a permanent injury, you may be able to get a "schedule award" which is based on a formula depending on the extent of your disability and your rate of pay, offset by payments that you have already received. But: you should get some advice as to whether the schedule award is your best option. Depending on your situation, you may be better off getting disability payments and having your medical expenses taken care of. You mentioned equipment that was repaired or altered which brings up another possiblity: if there some party other than your employer who caused the accident, such as a repair service you might be able to pursue a liability claim against them. Find a lawyer in your area who handles this kind of work so that you can discuss your situation in detail an work up a plan of action.
