ASSAULTED, AT WORK, THEN FORCED TO LIFT HEAVY WT, THEN BACK INJURY

ASSAULTED, AT WORK, THEN FORCED TO LIFT HEAVY WT, THEN BACK INJURY
Hi,
I was assaulted by my boss, then filed a police report, then forced to lift heavy weight to disprove my arm injury, which resulted in a serious back injury, and don't know what to do.

Then got fired. It doesn't seem right, and my boss the one that assaulted me and caused all of this, has assaulted someone else in the pass. And they have kept her employed as the boss.

I don't know what is going to happen to me, and my back is so bad, now that they fired me, how am I going to get treatment.

Mandy

;)Workmans comp is not a road you want to travel alone.You need a good lawyer,a great family and good friends to lean on.If you make it thru without losing everything you have worked for all your life,you have come out ahead of the game.....Smile

what a horrible situation. I am so sorry. It doesn't matter that you've been fired , you can still file a WC claim. Due to the situation if I were you I would sit with a good WC attorney.

God is never late.

In the end it doesn't matter how many years were in your life but how much life was in your years.

I would need to know the State this take place in?

Then you need to go to court on the day of your bosses trail, you need to sign in as the victom to the crime. You need to also check in with the States Attorney there hearing this case. You might have to appear several times in court before it is over.

I need to know as was the police report just (assault) or was it (assault & battery). You need to advise the States Attorney of the past record with the police to have it brought up in court.

You need to file a work comp claim with your State.

If you need an attorney go to this link for help.

i would crap if you work where i do. im in ohio. a similar situation happened to someone at my employer, not to me, but someone else. did your boss follow you out to the parking lot and stand in front of your car so you could not leave? or maybe this could have been the past incident.
it would be crazy if we are at the same place!!! i know the odds of us being in the same place are low, but the incident is VERY familiar.
