What Is Workplace Violence?

When people think about workplace violence, they often picture a current or former employee who suddenly snaps and brings a weapon to work. In reality, these kinds of episodes make up only a fraction of the violence perpetrated in the workplace. A large portion of workplace violence involves a third party, unconnected to the business and the victim, who comes in with the intent of committing a robbery or other crime.

In addition, a significant percentage of workplace violence involves intimidation, harassment, and threats. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, workplace violence is a “violent act directed toward persons at work or on duty,” including threats of assault, threatening behavior, and verbal abuse.

If you have experienced a physical, behavioral, or verbal act of violence at your workplace, contact Parker Waichman LLP to find out what legal options you might have for recovery.

Workplace Assault Lawsuit

When an employee feels at risk at work, they may be eligible to pursue a workplace assault lawsuit. A creditable threat of physical violence, verbal harassment, or sexual assault should be immediately reported to a supervisor or human resources professional. If that report is not resolved, the employee who is being assaulted has the right to file a workplace assault lawsuit for negligence in civil court. Work-related lawsuit lawyers are familiar with tactics that employers use to suppress employee lawsuits. At Parker Waichman LLP, we are prepared to handle your workplace lawsuit.

When a violent incident occurs in the workplace, the employee may be eligible for compensation for any injuries and damages.
