Attacked By Co-worker On Jobsite

[monicaC12270]

What is the name of your state? Indiana.
My husband was punched in the face/chin, and consequently, suffered neck injuries. The man who punched him is approx. 7 feet tall, and about 375 lbs. The man is employed by the same company as my husband, and the attack occured on a job site that both he, and my husband were sent to. My husband is only 5' 8" tall, and this hulk literally attacked him. My husband also notified his employer of this attack, and the hulk still works there. They even try to send him and my husband out to the same jobs. How can they get away with subjecting my husband to that sort of a threat to his safety?

How can they get away with subjecting my husband to that sort of a threat to his safety?

My response:

They can easily get away with it!

After a fair reading of your post, it appears that your husband has done nothing to protect his rights. Therefore, the employer and the employee can do whatever they like!

What did the police say when your husband reported the attack?

My further response:

By the way, can anyone tell me why I'm always the last to know that Bubba has been released by the prison?

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! Did your hubby call the police? This is a criminal matter. People can't just go around beating up others.

My response:

Probably not. The writer, instead, felt that it was wiser to ask someone on the Internet, rather than have her husband report this matter to the police.

Remember, earlier, I said - -
