If you or someone you know was recently involved in a physical altercation at work, there are a lot of questions that need to be answered. The sooner you can speak with an attorney about your rights, the easier it will be to decide your next steps. Most people don’t know their rights or their potential liabilities when they find themselves in this situation.
No one wants to get into a fight at work. By the time you realize what's happened, it's already too late to undo, and you are left with countless questions about how to protect yourself and the potential consequences you may face going forward. If you get into a fight with someone else at work, you need to have a thorough plan for what to do moving forward.
There can be so many different things to think about and your job could be at risk as well as your physical health. Dealing with a fight at work often involves an outside attorney to assist you with any legal claims that you might have. Violence in the workplace has grown increasingly common, and you cannot always predict when someone is on the edge and prepared to fight.
