Do I need to claim compensation from my co worker or employer for an accident at work?

[Carl]

Another employee hit me with a fork lift truck knocked me down, he ran into my leg and broke my leg bone, severe bruised muscle.
Called an ambulance and been to A&E and while in hospital I had an xray where they told me my leg was broke.

I am going to need to take a lot of time off work can I claim for loss of earnings?

Who will I have to claim against my employer or co worker?
