My Wife Is A Nurse And Had An Accidental Needle Stick, And The Owner Tried To Convince Her Not To Get Bloodwork Done.

My wife works at a local IV clinic and this Friday had an accidental needle stick. When calling the owner (who is also the manager there) she told my wife that she had to wait to go get tested at a cheap lab until Tuesday and that my wife had to pay for it herself, then the owner would Venmo her back. Also saying that she would only pay my wife back the amount of this cheap lab. I should also mention that it was a deep needle stick so there would be a high chance for blood borne diseases to transfer.
She told my wife this over the phone with a coworker listening to the whole conversation.
I’m sure there’s a case here, but I wanted to check before looking at an attorney.
Let me know if you have any questions
