Would there be any repercussions for suing an employer?

A friend of mine slipped on some ice outside his workplace, doing some damage to his knee. We’re not sure how extensive the damage is yet, but he does need physical therapy for about two weeks and can’t bend his leg. Long story short, whether or not the damage is permanent is still being determined.

He’s meeting with a lawyer because he’s thinking about suing the company. I personally don’t know if this is a good idea, especially long term. I especially think this might be bad if there’s no long term damage.

If he does sue his company, is there anything he could expect in the future, be it with this one or trying to find another job in the future?
