i’ve represented numerous
00:06
individuals who have been injured either
00:08
by the negligent or intentional acts of
00:11
security guards
00:12
one case that comes to mind is i
00:14
represented the elderly mother of a 33
00:16
year old man
00:18
who got into a parking dispute with a
00:20
security guard
00:21
at a hospital turned out he got dropped
00:23
on his head
00:24
and was killed and obviously having
00:28
passed away
00:29
nobody got to hear his version of the
00:31
events and at the time of this
00:33
altercation
00:35
the decedent my client’s son was
00:37
surrounded
00:38
by four security guards when he got into
00:41
an altercation with the lead security
00:43
guard
00:43
and to no surprise when the police
00:45
arrived on scene
00:47
their uniform story was that our
00:50
client’s son
00:51
caused the altercation and he attacked
00:54
the security guard and the security
00:55
guard was merely defending himself
00:57
so we got involved in the case sent out
01:00
our investigators and we were able to
01:02
find
01:02
an eyewitness who saw the whole
01:04
altercation
01:05
from her apartment building a half a
01:08
block away
01:09
and she testified in deposition
01:13
and stated clearly that it wasn’t the
01:15
decedent’s fault
01:17
the security guards were egging him on
01:19
pushing him
01:20
challenging him to a fight and the
01:24
head security guard who happened to be
01:26
the security manager for the hospital
01:29
picked up this much smaller man
01:32
lift him in the air and dropped him onto
01:35
the ground on his head much the way
01:37
you’d see in a
01:38
you know a wrestling match so because of
01:40
our efforts in determining
01:43
that there were eyewitnesses in getting
01:45
that eyewitness
01:46
account we were able to reach a
01:49
significant settlement
01:50
with the hospital and bring the truth
01:54
to light which otherwise would not have
01:56
occurred without our efforts
