It does not sound like you sustained any compensable damages during the incident. If you sustained a bodily injury, you could sue for your medical expenses, lost time from work, and physical pain and suffering.There is a law called the "shopkeeper's privilege" that authorizes a merchant to detain a person suspected of shoplifting to investigate ownership of the property in a reasonable manner for a reasonable time.
