Why would you allow anyone to hit you? I would defend myself and my family and any innocent person being assaulted, but you "allowed them to hit me" What is that all about?

Your exclusive remedy against your employer for an on the job injury is for comp benefits. You can go after your assailants, though. Good luck.

No, you can't sue them for negligence, but you can bring an action for the harassment, assault, infliction of emotional distress and recklessness.

That is an assault and battery, which is a crime. What was your boss supposed to do? Defend you No, he was supposed to call the cops. Your claim is against the criminals. In the meantime, you have a workers compensation case.

If you were injured, you probably have a workers compensation claim.
