Assault by a Security Guard
Understanding Your Legal Rights
If you've been assaulted by a security guard, you're not alone, Tito is here to fight for you! Security guards are hired to protect, not harm. When they cross this line, both the individual guard and their employer can be held accountable under the law.
Our carefully vetted and selected experienced personal injury attorneys specialize in helping victims of security guard assault recover the compensation they deserve. Whether the incident occurred at a nightclub, mall, apartment complex, or concert venue, we have the expertise to help you seek justice and healing.
What Constitutes Assault by a Security Guard?
Security personnel are permitted to use reasonable force in specific situations, but when they exceed these boundaries, their actions may constitute assault or battery. Common examples of excessive force include:
Shoving or hitting without provocation
Choking or restraining without justification
Using weapons unnecessarily
Threatening physical harm
Continuing physical contact after a threat has been neutralized
Excessive force is defined as any force that isn't proportional to the actual threat or situation. If you posed no significant danger yet were subjected to physical aggression, you likely have grounds for a legal case.
What to Do Immediately After an Assault by a Security Guard
Filing a Police Report
Your first step after any security guard assault should be contacting local law enforcement. When filing a report, be sure to:
Document the names and badge numbers of all security personnel involved
Collect contact information from any witnesses
Take detailed notes about the incident while your memory is fresh
Request a copy of the report for your records
Avoid signing any statements from the security company before consulting an attorney
Documenting Evidence for Your Case
Strong evidence significantly increases your chances of successful compensation. We recommend:
Photographing all visible injuries immediately and throughout healing
Requesting security camera footage immediately (before it's deleted)
Preserving clothing or personal items damaged during the incident
Keeping detailed records of all medical visits and treatments
Maintaining a journal documenting pain levels and emotional impacts
Collecting any communication from the security company or venue
The sooner you begin gathering evidence, the stronger your case will be. Our attorneys can help guide this process and ensure crucial evidence is properly preserved.
