My question is, If I was being choked and pushed back into some lockers at work by a guy who had been previously making life threatening threats towards me, and I struck the guy to get him off of me, why would they fire me? This is what happened even after getting many complaints about this guy, and I am the security officer. I even showed my ex employer a statement from my doctor saying that I have a compression fracture and muscle spasm in my neck. Do I have a case?
