I am a law school graduate. What I offer is mere information, not to be construed as forming an attorney client relationship.

Basically, you assume a specific risk when you take a specific job like working in a steel mill or in an underground mine.

BUT, you should be able to get compensated for your permanent injuries, perhaps through workers' comp? I would contact an employment labor law attorney in your state.

Many offer free consultations ....doesn't hurt to just ask. Try attorneypages.com as a start.
