Interesting question whether this is a Workers’ Compensation claim. The man was attacked at work and it was related to something that happened at work in the past. However, it involved a different employer. Not every work place injury is compensable. The question is whether the attack was connected in any way to his current job.

This is a big problem. Make sure that your employer has workers’ compensation insurance. If you are injured and your employer does not have insurance, then you are out of luck in many cases. Some states such as Illinois have a special fund set up for injured workers whose employer did not have work comp insurance.
