How does one file a lawsuit for an industrial injury?
It depends on what kind of industrial injury you’re dealing with. In California, a workplace injury will often start with a workers’ compensation claim rather than a regular lawsuit against your employer. Generally, you should report the injury to your employer, get medical attention, document what happened, and file the required workers’ comp paperwork. If someone other than your employer may have caused the injury—such as a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or another company—you may also have a separate personal injury claim. Because the rules and deadlines can vary depending on the circumstances, it’s worth speaking with a California workers’ comp or personal injury attorney before assuming you need to file a lawsuit.

Do you have to pay back after a settlement?
Pay back whom? If you receive a settlement for an injury and you have medical bills you have to pay those bills related to the injury and it is a good idea to put any remaining funds leftover into a special account in case you get future bills for that injury. Many people go and buy a house or a car with the settlement money and then later on when they need the money to pay for injury care the money is gone and they are in real trouble. Medical insurance carriers will not pay for injury care when you have received a settlement to pay for that injury care. So be wise.
How do you file a case for slight physical injury?
If you mean filing a personal injury case for a relatively minor injury, you usually don't start by immediately filing a lawsuit. There are a few steps worth taking first. First, get medical attention and keep records of the treatment, bills, prescriptions, and any time you had to miss work. Then document what happened as well as you can — photos, witness information, an accident or police report, and any messages or other evidence related to the incident. After that, you can usually make a claim with the responsible person's insurance company. A lot of smaller injury claims are resolved through an insurance settlement rather than going to court. If the insurer denies the claim, refuses to offer a reasonable amount, or there's a disagreement about who was responsible, that's when talking with a personal injury attorney can make more sense. The attorney can evaluate whether there's a viable lawsuit and, if necessary, file the appropriate court documents. I'd also be careful about assuming that a "slight" injury isn't worth documenting. A seemingly minor injury can sometimes take longer to heal than expected. The deadlines are important too. They vary by state and by the type of claim. For example, Georgia generally has a two-year limitations period for many personal injury claims, but there are exceptions, so I wouldn't rely on a general deadline without checking the law that applies to the particular situation.
