More details to this question:
I got hurt at work when I was asked to inspect machine while it was running. My arm got caught in a conveyor. I almost lost my arm but saved it. It has about 20% disability and not looking like it will recover. We came to the point nothing can be done more. They are taking their time to calculate disability and close case. Now they are giving me a hard time at work.

You are entitled to Workers' Compensation benefits, but that prevents you from filing a civil suit. You should contact a local applicant's/employee's attorney to see if you need an attorney.

Hello, Conveyors usually have guards. If the employer removed a guard from the conveyor and you were injured as a result. You may be able to take additional legal action.
