Workplace injury
I’m from Texas, and I’m looking for general legal guidance about a workplace incident.
A coworker intentionally shoved me during work, which caused me to hit a door and fall. My shoulder was badly bruised afterward, and I reported the incident to HR and my manager. I felt the complaint was brushed aside and not taken seriously. The next day I was still in pain and asked about taking time off because my shoulder and neck were hurting more, but I was not given leave and still had to work. Since then I’m worried I may have a pulled muscle or a more serious shoulder/neck injury, but I wasn’t offered medical treatment through work or guided on what to do.
I’m only looking for general legal information on what rights or options I may have.
