What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oregon
I am a doorman at a club and was restraining a male who was shoving my self and another employee. I held him against a car and he hit me, along with some of his other friends from behind me. I only witnessed the person I was holding hit me and could not ID any others to the police.
During the process I received a large cut above my eye and some bruising on the side of my head and below my eye. I was wearing my glasses at the time and they were broken in the process. I can still wear them but they are very damaged.
The advice I need is about if I should continue pressing charges, and go for damage or what else I should go for. Also does it even stand a chance to go my way? I am very good at documenting and very professional.
Also, do I need to obtain a lawyer? and if yes, can the fee's be part of the compensation I am seeking.
Thanks a bunch!
