Q: If a man fires a projectile at you on the job can you file a lawsuit against the company for not fireing him
The homemade device was a piece of pipe filled with oxygen and acetylene taped off and ignited shot a avocado seed towards me and put a hole in the wall head level it didn't hit me but there was no reprimand for it and it is still allowed I am no longer at that company but I have friends that are there and he's still does it it is an explosive that you cannot measure or determine the force or power that comes from the pipe itself it's determined by the amount of the acetylene oxygen that is put inside it can or is this grounds for a lawsuit and if so how long do you have to file the lawsuit
A: Even if you are no longer with the company, you may still have a case, especially if you have witnesses or documentation of the incident and the company's failure to address it properly. An attorney can also advise you on whether your friends who still work there might have a case as well.
