My mother was attacked at work by a co worker who was just told she was fired and thought my mom has something to do with it. This hostile coworker has been harassing my mother for months.Some occassions the lady has just blatantly cursed my mom out and nothing happened to her. My mom put in her two weeks notice. it was then that the manager said he would fire the other lady. Well the morning of the attack, the lady came up and their manager informed her she was fired. She began cursing my mom but my mom walked away. The lady jumped her from behind and hit her repeatedly in the head with a coffee cup. the ambulance and police were called the lady went to jail. And after watching the tapes, the lady was coming back at my mom with a knife but someone stopped her. It was then the manager says oh yeah she carries it all the time. I would like to know if my mom can sue the lady and the company for allowing the workplace to be an unsafe environment? It was also discovered that the lady has a lenghty record which would have disqualified her fromt he job, so I’m thinking they didn’t even do a background check. I’m just concerned about all these hospital and doctors bills that she now has.
Not wanting to hurt the ecomony, but my mother is almost 60yrs old..and her well being is my #1 concern.
