Perhaps you can. In the workers’ compensation law, there are exceptions to the general rule that prevent an individual from seeking non-economic damages from an employer. One exception is a civil rights violation; another is an injury that directly results from an intentional act by the employer. If you feel that one of these exceptions applies to you, talk with a Michigan workers’ compensation lawyer about your potential legal claims.
