Can I charge my employer cost related to illness received from uniform at work?
Full Question:
I have recieved Scabies from work, and need to know, can I bill them for having to wash all my clothes, blankets and fabric materials? I was not told that the costume I would be wearing had scabies, and then when I reported it, they just turned the other way, and said sorry. Then left. I can't afford to have everything cleaned, and that is the only way I can get rid of the scabies is by treating myself after all my laundry and fabric items are cleaned.

Answer:
In order to prevail in a negligence lawsuit, a person needs to prove that they are owed a duty of care, the duty was breached, leading to and causing injury. In infestation cases, proof will be required that the infestation wasn't caused by other means and proper care would've prevented it.
