If your injury was caused by your negligence, then you dont have a case. However, If you were working in the capacity of a moving co. employee, then u may have a workmans comp case.

Why would you think someone else other than YOU is responsible? You were the one not watching what you were doing, so thats who is responsible absent you working for the moving company where you might then have a workers compensation claim or something along that vein.
