Negligence

while sitting in my truck, with the window down, I was punched in the face by a complete stranger in a Wal-Mart Parking lot/there are security cameras in the prkng. lot and security patrol. I did nothing to provoke this attack, I swear on my life. Blood was pouring out of my nose and I could feel it dripping/ I pull along side of a security truck and said ''I need help'' she said nothing then turned around and looked at the vehicle that had pulled up behind our trucks and saw the driver, it was the same vehicle that my attacker was a passenger in/ I don'tknow why they pulled up behind us. After she looked at them, she the looked at me and said ''Do you have a cell phone?'', I said ''Yes'', she says ''call 911'', then turned away from me. I know she had a radio in her truck as I saw her talking to someone on it when i pulled up to her. The bottom line here, is...The police did not want to help me, the security company covered their asses and said that the guard I named was not working that night and a male guard was on duty at that time. Even though I had spoken with a manager who read me the info i reqstd off a clipbrd in his truck/According to a recent article this is the 7th most dangerous Wal-Mart store in the country/what can I do

This may be a case of negligent security protection. However, you need to really consult with an attorney to discuss the details of your matter in more detail to determine the level of liability if any.
