Default suing co. after wc settlement?

hi friends,
I fell at work and broke my elbow. I have been out of work over a year now. I still can not make a fist. Please advice that after settling with W/C, can I then sue the company for personal injury? Is it possible in some way or other?
Thank you...

Personal injury lawsuits against your employer are not allowed, since a workers' compensation claim is your exclusive remedy for on-the-job injuries.
