Please Help Legal Advice Needed: Assaulted by Manager Workplace Negligence?

A friend of mine works at a japanese restaurant as a server, he's been there approx. 1 1/2 years longer than the current owners have owned the place. A week or so ago my friend was working his shift, and he had two incidents involving a manager


1. The manager became irrate for an unknown reason and was throwing trays around and tossing and splattering trash all over him in the kitchen. This was witnessed by other workers. My friend did nothing, wiped the trash off himself and continued working.


2. Later that same night, my friend was racking glasses in the back, and the manager again became angry, started yelling and came over to him, and jacked him off the floor and started to hit him on his body.


My friend feared for his life because he was battered by his manager, the fact that there was glass, metal, knifes around. The owners did not fire/repremand the manager (btw, the manager has a record of prior workplace incidents like this one)

Maybe a lawyer is the best person to answer this. I would say a general lawyer might be the person. However, you have left information out. Why does he want a lawyer at all? He doesn't need to defend himself in court, does he? Also, you don't mention where in the world this took place.





It would seem he might want to file a police report and/or go to a courthouse and ask for the appropriate office to help him with what he wants. I don't know whether he wants to file charges, to get a restraining order, or what, but it doesn't sound like he's the one who should need a lawyer.
The civil piece of this is a claim against the restaurant owner for what is called negligent hiring. The claim would be that the owners were negligent in hiring someone who would engage in this sort of conduct.





The bad news is that these claims are not always easy to win, even if the action of the manager is particularly bad. The question can turn on whether the owners knew or should have known that the manager had engaged in this kind of action in the past, or had shown warning signs that should have alerted them that he might. Since you indicate that the manager has such a record, the question would be whether the owners could have found that out, or actually knew about it and hired him anyway.





Any personal injury lawyer or competent litigator can handle this type of claim.
The first thing he needs to do is file charges. Without a police report, he's not gonna get any help. How serious do you really think anyone will take him when he doesn't even bother to press charges? Sounds like he just wants money, not really scared. Normal people call the police when they are scared.
personal injury lawyer, i think.

This was an assault, and is a criminal matter, not a civil one. He needs to press charges and fast. Later he can sue, but he needs a police report or the first thing the civil court judge will ask is why there is no police report. He needs witness statements in writing too.
A lawyer with experience in labor laws.
He should make a police report and have him arrested for assault and battery. Report the restaurant owner's to the labor relations board and bring a law suit against everybody.
