it all depends on the level of disability your state says you have
The first step (after getting needed medical care) is to inform your employer in writing about your injury as soon as you can. You are entitled to wage loss benefits and payment of medical expenses (including medications and medical mileage). You may also be entitled to permanent partial disability benefits.
One thing about work comp that is different from a personal injury claim is that it’s no fault. In other words, even if your employer provided an unsafe work environment, they don’t have to pay you damages for pain and suffering and that type of thing. Likewise, your benefits are not affected even if you were careless on the job. Fault is just not a factor (unless you were injured because you were drunk on the job or something like that). So if you want to “sue them for all they’ve got” that just won’t happen. But be sure to get all the benefits that you ARE entitled to.
If you are in doubt, contact a worker’s compensation attorney. Also keep in mind that your worker’s comp insurance adjuster is probably not looking out for your best interest, so you have to be informed about your rights and talk to an attorney if necessary.
Please check out the New York work comp website, esp. the Workers section. It has a lot of useful information:

Hope that helps. Please feel free to email me if you have questions.
New York has a Workers Compensation system. In return for payments to the system, your employer is safe from lawsuits. All you can do is file for compensation through the system. You should get some sort of payment as your injury is permanent and prevents you from being as good at some jobs, such as typist or key punch. Go down to the compensation office and talk to a representative. You may not have to sue at all.
