When I ask for the jury verdicts, should I specify personal injury, third party assault, or what? Not trying to sound stupid, but I just want to have all the information I can. Also, am I considered an "invitee" since I was attending a concert? And what is considered "reasonable amount of security" on the businesses' behalf? At what point do you cross the line into negligence and improper security measurements?
Thanks.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
My response:
You're going to ask for the Civil Case Jury Verdicts. All types of civil cases are lumped together. You're just going to have to scan through them all until you find something the same or similar to your situation. As for your other questions, I cannot answer because all of the States' statutory and case law are different. In California, for example, we no longer make any distinctions for Invitee, Trespasser, or Licencee (See Roland vs. Christian (1969)). So, for something like you've experienced, I would really suggest that you keep looking for an attorney who's willing to take your case, and to give you specific legal advice.
Realistically, even if you did find something similar or the same as your claim, there are many other factors involved (behind the scenes) that would make your claim different - - even though on the surface there's another case "like" yours.
Good luck,
IAAL
