Can I sue a chain restaurant if their employee physically and verbally assaulted me

Answered 5 years and 11 months ago by attorney Stephen Arnold Black   |   1 Answer
Yes you certainly can sue. An employer is civilly liable for acts of its employees committed within the course and scope of their employment.

Discuss your case with counsel about contingency fee representation which means you don't pay anything unless you win the case. Did you file a police report? Was the employee arrested?... Read More
