More details to this question:
My supervisor told me to go through a person belongings, which was in trash bags. Who worked at my job that past away. I told her that I didn''t feel comfortable doing this, but I still did it. While i was deciphering what was personal and government, I seen boxes with a name I never seen before. So I googled the name and found that it was a environmental clean up company. Then I spoked to a person, who told me that the man had C-DIFF. Which was contagious and that if they knew that I was told to go through his things, that they would have stopped me. Also, the person told me that my supervisor knew of the situation.

To have a viable personal injury case worth prosecuting, in addition to being the victim of negligence or wrongful intentional contact you have to suffer damages. If you were merely exposed to an infection but did not contract it and it did not harm you, then you would not have a personal injury case worth pursuing.
