I was attacked at work a year ago and I was severely injured physically and have hated going back to work ever since the incident. It has affected me mentally, causing a psychological injury and cost me my job.
I worked in a residential children's home, we handle all different types of young people, but we are supposed to have special practice and early warning before hand if anyone is a hazard or dangerous risk of physical violence.
I was attacked by a young person, he was 16 years old and had a history of violent behaviour but we had lack of information If he was high risk of being violent and was just put on a tag 48 hours before this happened. I had head and back injuries, including scratches, cuts and bruises and never got any support from work.
it went to court and was found guilty. I had too go too hospital with concussion and ever since this it has mentally affected me. I have resigned due to lack of support.
Can I make a claim against my old employer for personal injuries and mental trauma damages and loss of earnings because I had to leave?
Many Thanks
