"How come there isn't a limit on pain and suffering in medical malpractice law suites but there are caps on workman's compensation cases?"

There is really a very simple explanation for that. It is that the employer is liable to pay workers' compensation, if the employee is hurt on the job, regardless of fault. In fact the injury can be the fault of the employee and the employer must pay. The limited recovery is the trade off.
