Re: Injured by patient's family?
While the family member was the instigator I think you'd be hard pressed to prove *which* pepper spray caused your symptoms- the dog repellent pepper spray is a weaker version than is typically used by security.
As for 'pressing charges' in many states it is the sole decision of the DA whether or not to pursue criminal action. You can make a report but any charges are up to the DA.
More than anything I think this is the fault of your employer, why did security not notice 20 people rushing in and intervene well before it escalated to that point? As it happened on the job workers comp should be picking up the tab for your medical care and lost wages.
