I got punched on the face today at work

He didn't mean to punch me. I was in the way trying to de-escalate the fight.
He got arrested.
This is the second time I get injured by a patient.
First time in Canada.
I am as tired as I was 14 hours ago but also in pain.
Just laying my head and resting.

sorry that happened.

Presumably you'll get some compensation from this?

@Caz82

I have five days to decide whether or not to file a lawsuit or let them go. The sentence can be from 2 to 10 years.

I am not sure about financial settlement. If I doesn't affect my health long term, I don't really care much.

In Canada my insurance covered everything and I didn't bother pursuing. Was busy taking care instead.

But yeah, there are compensations if I want them, eventually

@Miram But your employer is responsible for this financially, you were injured in the workplace doing your job. Presumably you followed all the guide lines for your job role? The guy who hit you probably has no money and you maybe dont need to see him punished. .

This sounds like a lawsuit against your employer. Your employer knows they're liable so in your shoes I wouldn't say anything to your employer until you've lawyered up.

@Caz82 My employer is the government.

This is in Algeria

Did you receive training and/or suitable equipment to intercede in fights?

It is best for you to find some other thread to troll. You're being strange af and I am not interested in whatever you are trying to do here.
