Employment-Related Assault and Battery
You may have grounds for a lawsuit against your employer if you were assaulted in an on-duty capacity. The assault does not have to occur in the office or at headquarters. It could be off-site, such as at a construction job. The assailant could be your supervisor, the owner of the company, a co-worker, or a client.
Assault refers to any threatening gestures, including verbal threats of violence. Battery refers to physical contact — a punch or kick, a slap or aggressive shove, or use of any type of weapon. It is not necessary that you suffered physical injury, although damages are greater if you needed medical treatment. The injury can be emotional in nature — fear of the person, trauma from the incident, or loss of reputation among co-workers.
The experienced trial lawyers of the Sexual Harassment Law Group are aggressive in holding your employer and the attacker accountable for monetary damages:
- Infliction of emotional trauma
- Pain and suffering from physical injury
- Attorney's fees
- Punitive damages, if applicable
