I am a lawyer in CT and practice in this area of the law.  I suggest going to see a lawyer and discussing filing a lawsuit against the restaurant and the guy that pushed you.  You can sue both for assult/battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligent infliction of emotional distress. You are not going to be able to retire with this lawsuit, but it will send a message to the employer and will possibly put some money in your pocket. Go see a lawyer immediately.
