Legal Question in Workers Comp in Mississippi

I was injured at work and now have a workmans comp claim being processed. I may have a permanet disability for my right foot. Even with a workmans comp claim, can I pursue a personal injury claim against my employer, (jasper County), as my injury was caused by poor grounds maintenance?
