Workplace Violence

About Workplace Violence

Workplace violence covers assaults or other intentional harm that happen while you are on the job, and the effects can be both physical and emotional. In California, injuries from a workplace assault are often handled through workers' compensation as the exclusive remedy against your own employer. But the harm is sometimes preventable. If an employer or property owner failed to provide reasonable security — for example, by ignoring known threats — you may have a separate negligent-security claim against that third party beyond workers' compensation. To learn more, share a few details and connect with a California attorney.
