she can file a Workers Comp case with a doctor's disability opinion.
Re: Injury from robbery at work
Your mom has a very good case...she can file under worker's comp or against the employer's Commercial general liability policy.
Re: Injury from robbery at work
if your wife is covered thru a worker's compensation program thru her employer, she should be entitled to a "stress-related leave of absence" under the circumstances you outlined in your question. she definitely should not be pressured to go back to work. if you email me with more specific details to her situation and boss' demands, i may be able to offer further legal assistance and/or representation in this matter.
