What to do if I was employed as a cook in a restaurant and after a verbal argument with my manager he struck me?

I was let go and he still has a job. I am a disabled 51 year old woman with children at home and had to go to work to help with the expenses as they are at college level or in high school. How do I sue my manager and how do I sue the company I work for?

Given the work situation where you were assaulted, battered and then terminated by your employer I suggest that you consult with an attorney that practices in the area of labor and personal injury law and consult with a representative with your local department of labor to see what your legal options are with respect to the employee who struck you and your employer who terminated you from your position.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
