Were you attacked on the job? It might be compensable under workers' compensation

Have you been involved in a physical altercation at work? If you are injured in a fight then the case could be compensable under workers’ compensation.

The injury can be compensable if the attack occurs at work, the subject of the fight is work related, and the attack cannot have been initiated by the employee. If the injured employee threw the first punch, the claim is not likely compensable even if the verbal assault began with the other party.

Often times when a fight occurs at work both parties will be terminated, leaving the assaulted party seemingly without recourse. But that is not actually true.

An injured employee should go to the doctor or emergency room to document all injuries and consider going to the police to document the assault. Also, the names and contact information for any witnesses should be preserved.  As an attorney who handles both criminal law and workers’ compensation, Marietta attorney Kenneth R. Croy can assist in making any decisions that need to be made with respect to pursuing all possible actions.  All workers’ compensation consultations are free.
