It depends. If you get Kentucky workers compensation benefits, you can't also sue your employer.
If a third party was responsible for your work injury, you may be able to sue them. An example of where you would be able to sue a third party for damages if you also receive Kentucky workers compensation benefits would be a situation where you are driving your employer's vehicle on your job and you are injured due to some other driver's negligence.
