I'm really sorry to hear about what happened to you. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like a case exists. But we will need more information about the shooter (whether he was an off-duty police officer for instance), and how and where the event occurred.
Please note that this is for informational purposes and not legal advice. Personally consult an attorney before you make any legal decisions. 2 people marked this answer as good

I'm sorry, but any lawyer would need much more information to even begin to evaluate your situation.
To begin with: When did this happen? If it was more than two years ago, whatever claims you have are probably barred by the statute of limitations. In what city or county? Why were you there and what were you doing? Why do you think you were shot? By accident? Because the guard misinterpreted the situation? I don't mean to fuss at you, and I'm sorry for your injury, but to get a meaningful answer here -- other than just some lawyer inviting you to call him so he can privately evaluate your situation -- you would need to provide more details. 1 person marked this answer as good
