It sounds like you had a very serious injury. You may be able to file a stress claim. PLease feel free to contact my office if you have any further questions. My phone number is 818.385.0520.
Re: assaulted at work
You may have permamnent disability due to your fracture and it appears that you have a serious stress case. I recently settled a case with similar fact pattern. You may be entitled to penalty under labor code 132 (a) if your employer terminated you due to work-related disability. Please call us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation about your case.
