Security Guard Misconduct Claims
Third-party assault claims arise when guards use excessive force, act outside their authorized scope, or cause harm to people they are meant to protect. Employers are vicariously liable for employee torts within the scope of employment. Security companies face additional liability for negligent hiring of guards with violent histories and inadequate use-of-force training.
