Sorry to hear what happened to you. Whether you have a viable claim against the assailant's employer will depend on whether his actions and use of force were within the scope of his employment. If not, you will need to demonstrate that the music venue / bar had knowledge of his bad disposition... View More

A tort statute is typically three years, but that is not the issue. The issue is whether the asker has standing to sue as a plaintiff against a foster care apparatus that included a family court. The answer will be no.
