Basically it is yes.

Unless it is required by law (federal, state, local) or court order, or covered by agreements (such as union, and health benefits), an employer can't withheld your income.

You're not being very specific, but I would say yes as a general statement. What was broken? Were you at fault? Was your negligence the reason it broke? If you were acting in your job description and it was an accident, then maybe you have a case. What you really have to ask yourself is whether or not you want to work for a company that's going to knit-pick all of you mistakes.
