QUESTION
Can I sue my employer for my needle stick puncture?
Asked on May 03rd, 2015 on Labor and Employment - Florida
More details to this question:
i got a needle puncture from a syringe that was left on a patients chair . nurse checked and it does not belong to the resident. So I had to go to urgent care for a Tetanus vaccine and tomorrow I have to a blood test and then another look test at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months then monitored for Hepatitis, Syphilis and HIV. This also means I have to use a condom for a whole year and be careful around my husband and kids. This alone is emotionally stressful to me and not knowing if I did contract something. Can I sue my employer for this?

No, you should be covered for some of this by your employer's workers compensation.
