Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida
I was hired as a caregiver for this 90 year old man by his daughters who told me he can be difficult. we were heading out for lunch and the security alarm went off as he was setting it, which made him mad. as i was triying to calm him down the secuirty company came to the door asked if everything was alright, as i was explaining to the guard what happed, the 90 year old man lashed out on me and poked me in my eyes and nose and scratched my face... the security man help stop him, i went to the hospital and was release and fired. this was my second day on the job. To me the daughters are liable for not explaining the whole history to me, even when i asked... althought, the police and the security guard gave me a wealth of info... one of the comment were " he has guns and you are lucky he did not shoot you" can i sue them? and him for personal injury, intentional wrongs, assault and battery cuppable negligence

Yuo can sue him for assualt, but it does not sound like you were hurt to any significant degree.
This guy appears to be crazy and the daughters were negligent in having you work there. Assault and battery is a claim, but I believe the better approach is to make a claim for negligence against the daughters and the man since such a claim will bring in the homeowner's policy. This means there will be insurance to pay for your medical bills and some more.
Do not know if the claim is big enough to have a lawyer get involved though, but try.
