Legal protection is a great start. I would also say that most hiring managers understand that there are crappy companies out there, and that doesn't mean that all employees coming from them are bad news. I'd suggest for future interviews using the company as a reference, being direct that there was a issue with workplace culture and that you are excited about the culture of the prospective company. I would also recommend having some notes written down about the issue in the case that the hiring manager brings it up; if they know about it, they will probably ask, and if not then they probably never will.
