Assaulted at work then fired
I was sexually assaulted at work by my employers friend, who was there to train me in software use. The man owns/owned his own separate company. He was charged with sexual misconduct, and 3 counts of harassment. I have been having panic attacks and went to the doctor, who took me off work and referred me to a psychiatrist who is currently treating me with meds and counceling. My employer claims I quit my job even though I sent written documentation from doctor, refused to file a workers comp case and has been a jerk about the entire thing. On May 6th the man that assaulted me plead guilty to all four counts in municipal court. My question is do I have a lawsuit against the company outside of the workers comp issue, which I do have a lawyer working on now? Also, how would I go about suing the man that assaulted me? I have lost so much.
