3 weeks ago, my boyfriend was at work, and another employee (I'll refer to him as L) approached him, and called him stupid, told him that he didn't know how to do his job, and proceeded to do my boyfriend's job for him. An hour later, "L" came by him, and smacked my boyfriend on the cheek. My boyfriend proceeded to tell him "don't ever think about doing that again", and turned around to continue working. "L" then came up behind my boyfriend, and smacked his hands together, as if mocking hitting him again.
My boyfriend continued to work, and "L" purposely caught his attention, and when he looked up, "L" called him a 'f*ing homo'. My boyfriend broke down at that point. When the supervisor found out what was going on, he was sent home with pay.
This incident has caused him to go on FMLA (family medical leave act), and is in intensive psychological counseling, and subsequently medicated.
In the past, my boyfriend has suffered from depression, and this triggered the depression, which was under control before, to return.
Will he be eligible for Worker's Compensation here in the state of Michigan? Will Worker's Compensation pay for medical bills due to this issue?
Thank you in advance.
