Sounds like a good mess, anyone who assaulted you could be liable for assault and or battery. Of course if they were just acting in self defense then you would have no case against them. As to the termination it would depend on the specifics an your states specific employment law. But if you were fighting on company time it is usually justifiable to terminate the employment.

The doctors and hospital employees have a duty to assess a patient's fall risk, including risks that are caused by medications and their side effects. If your father was at a high risk for falls, and was not appropriately monitored, he may have a claim for the injuries that he suffered in the fall. You should contact an attorney in Indiana that specializes in medical malpractice work. He or she will need to gather the medical records and have them reviewed by a nurse and/or a physician who is familiar with the treatment of patients under this or a similar circumstance. The claim needs to be filed within two years of the date of the alleged act of malpractice in Indiana or it will be barred by the statute of limitations. Good luck.
