intentionally injured by another employee while on the job in IN

[psjack]

My son was hit by another employee while on the job, causing 3 fractures to his face and requiring surgery. He was working at a factory thru Manpower, a temporary employement agency. Manpower said it was not w/c because it was a personal injury, really it'd be a bodily injury. The person who hit him was a full time employee of the factory. He was on house arrest for assualt and battery. His foreman admitted to not knowing what to do so both of them were sent home. My son was not sent for medical treatment, he had to take himself the next day. Now he has medical bills and no income.
