Answer 1

I agree with the above post, but will add a little. You can sue under Title VII for exactly what the above post said- not providing a safe work environment. In addition, there may be some sexual harassment liability, if you're willing publicly to go forward with such a claim against another man. In any event, you shouold talk to a lawyer; due to the nature of this case, a lawyer would most likely agree to take it on a contingency basis- that means you don't have to pay unless you win, and even in that case, he takes a portion of your winnings (usually between 33%-40%). Or, if you want to litigate this case Pro Se (by yourself), I would call the Federal District Court Clerk of the location of the employer. (E.g., if the employer is located in Northern NY, then it would be the Fed. District Court a for the Northern Dist of NY). The Court clerk could tell you how to proceed pro se, though admittedly, you would have your hands full because legal proceedings are unfamiliar terrain for even well-educated non-lawyers. I would go with a lawyer if possible. But strike while the iron's hot. And document all correspondence, written or oral, that transpired re your injury and take pictures of any injuries you sustained. use your common sense. What do you need to prove your case? get that stuff ready from now until the time you talk to a lawyer.

Answer 2

You have some very viable issues and while a few things come to mind I feel I could best serve your intrest in this way. First; get any and all medical evidence you may have. Get statements from anyone who has intimate knowlege. Definetely contact an attorney for further advise. To say anything more without knowing more and doing research would be assanign (sp). you appear to have a viable sexual harrassement case that needs the expertise of a good Civil Attorney. GOOD LUCK/GOD BLESS

Answer 3

It doesn't matter how long you worked for the company. Did anyone over hear you tell your foreman. and did anyone see you get hit, or did you show anyone the bruises. But I would contact your attorney about this.

Answer 4

You can sue the company for not providing a safe work enviroment. Companies are suppose to take these things seriously.

You can also sue the guy who hit you for assualt.

Talk to a lawyer, theres alot you can do here.

Answer 5

All this over a gram of weed and a bong? guy, they must be difficult in Arizona. you assert you elect advice yet i'm uncertain what type of advice you're searching for. You do ask what might desire to ensue next, so maybe i will handle that. The police might desire to spend a dozen manhours investigating this heinous crime and at last finally end up forwarding the ends up of their examine to the community prosecutor's place of work or submitting some sort of grievance against you in courtroom. looks downright no longer susceptible to me, given the rather small volume of marijuana we are talking approximately and the undeniable fact that apparently there is no thank you to teach you have been to blame for what became interior the automobile, because of the fact it became left unlocked. interior the alternative, no longer something might desire to ensue. it is the place my funds is. you opt to work out how lots difficulty you will be able to desire to be in. properly, you will be able to desire to be in some volume of difficulty with the regulation and you will be able to desire to be in some volume of difficulty with your father, i assume. How lots is in all hazard some thing no one right here can anticipate. i do no longer think of this has been all that powerful yet i'm truthfully uncertain what it is you're searching for right here.
