A: Assault and negligent security cases are quite complicated. You may want to retain the services of an attorney to pursue this matter on your behalf. There can be a count for assault, battery, negligence and other causes of action. If you do not formally hire an attorney, you may want to have an attorney draft the complaint for you to file. Before you file anything, go ahead and speak to a local personal injury or civil rights attorney as to recommended and practical courses of action.
