Yes, it will go on your permanent record and future companies will not hire you because of it. You still will be able to get a job, but not nowhere as good of one as you would like. Make sure you sue for enough money to set yourself up for a while.

∙ 13y agoGenerally, no. Workers compensation is usually the sole remedy that the employee has for a work-related injury.
Historically, as a trade-off for not having to sue the employer and prove that its negligence caused the injury, workers compensation laws were enacted to give the employee a remedy. Workers compensation manages and pays for medical care and treatment, and pays a percentage of the injured worker's lost wages.
At some point in the workers compensation claim process, there may come a point when the parties wish a "wash out". This means that the workers compensation insurer will pay a lump sum of money in full settlement of the future lost wage claim. Usually, however, its obligation for continuing medical care related to the occurrence endures.
