Were you at a bar or nightclub and were assaulted or battered (punched, kicked, slapped, pushed, shoved) by the security guards in San Diego? Unfortunately, we have dealt with more cases than we would want to arising out of conduct like this.

Here are the top reason why you should hire a San Diego Assault and Battery Lawyer Right away if this has happened to you:
- 1. Security Footage:
The most important piece of information in cases like this is the security footage. The problem with the footage is that, a letter needs to be sent out immediately after the incident took place to preserve that footage. This is because, there are many different types of security footage cameras out there and depending on the type that the establishment is using, the footage can be deleted if not preserved within a certain period of time.
- 2. Witnesses:
Many times in cases like this, the security people that were working there at the time of the incident could not be working there anymore, either because they were fired or they chose to voluntarily leave the establishment. Its important to make sure that we preserve the evidence, so the sooner we get in there to file a lawsuit if need be, the better so we can move to preserve the evidence.
- 3. Get Medical Care:
Depending on the severity of your injuries, its important for you to get medical care right away. If you do not have insurance, we will be able to refer you to doctors that are willing to care for you on a contractual basis. This means, they would defer their payment until your case has been resolved to get paid.
