First of all you should have contacted the Police, that is Assault & Battery and the Criminal Courts can award damages. Plus no employer should be intoxicated on the job, not even a bar owner. You certainly have a civil case for Personal Injury against your boss and possibly the business. I wouldn't go worker's comp on this matter as, being assaulted by your boss is not really what worker's comp was designed for.

Contact the Police and then contact a Personal Injury Attorney.

I have responded to your inquiry according to the laws of Massachusetts, where I practice. Laws can vary significantly from state to state and cases tend to be rather fact-specific, so you are best served by consulting with a knowledgeable attorney in weighing your options.
