Possibly, more likely they would have a claim but the defense would be they weren't realy "business invitees" but trespassers.. Are the savings worth it to them? Sounds like a lot of hassle for a few bucks off. Also if anyone asks you could have your card hiked per terms of agreement.
For example the MGLs against discrimination prohibit discriminating against a person on the basis of color, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, age, gender, marital status...etc

You should meet with an attorney in your state to assess the strength and potential value of your specific case. Settlement or judgment values are unpredictable and are based on many factors, including the overall strength of the case and the extent of the injuries that you suffered.

The problem is you do not really have any damages. In a personal injury suit you need something like medical bills to show it was bad enough to treat.

You should file a worker's compensation claim, which would include income. Find a local WC attorney who can help you with it, as they may also figure out a way to go after the employer for the actions after the incident.

Not sure how the case was resolved before it was filed, but, in any event, your question got cut off and is incomplete.

You should seek a free consultation with a medical malpractice lawyer in your area. You can try the "find a lawyer" tool on this site to search for lawyers. A word of advice... if you are thinking of bringing a medical malpractice case on your own, think twice.
store had history of prior attackes on employees and owner

File a claim against whom? The person who assaulted you? It would be too late for that as the statute of limitations in your state is 3 years from the date of the occurrence. Did you not file a workers compensation claim?
