There are two possibilities. The first is through through Workers' Compensation. If you have not contacted an attorney who handles Workers' Compensation claims, then I urge you to contact one immediately to determine what rights you may have under the Workers' Compensation syatem. The second would depend upon the facts of your accident. Do you believe anyone else is at fault for your injury other than your employer? Let me know the facts of your accident, I will let you know if I think there is anything further.

The question you ask would be best directed to an attorney you hire to handle your personal injury case.  Statistically injured accident victims recover more reasonable settlements using the services of a verifiable, experienced personal injury lawyer.  You can expect low-ball offers from insurance adjusters who follow their company’s business model requiring the adjuster to settle cases with claimants who are not represented by an attorney for unreasonable sums.  In your case, you should not consider settling your case until you know the prognosis for your thumb injury. Pain and suffering, medical expenses, property damage, and loss of income are the elements of damage that can be claimed in an auto v auto personal injury claim.  Evaluating your case requires acquiring your medical records and a thorough analysis of your injuries and losses which is not a process that is best performed by a simple answer to your question.  You should do your research and find a lawyer who will consult with you at no cost for the first consultation.  You may not get your answer to your question without retaining the lawyer since to properly evaluate your case, the lawyer needs to use his skill and experience which is deserving of a fee. 

Yes, it is a valid claim. For how much depends on how badly you are hurt (all of the details about the boss's attitude are irrelevant. The only issue is how badly you are hurt).
