Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

i was taken to the ground by one male security person while two females each held my arms. The male then jumped on my back placing one knee on my back and one knee on my head, he reached down and put me in a choke hold until my eyes started bulging and my tongue felt like it was swelling, and my face and ears got hot and then my body went limp. The then cuffed me and dragged into a room where i was cuffed to a bench for 7 1/2 hours. I asked for medical attention and was denied. there are no bruises or cuts anymore but my throat still gets very sore. Is there anything i can do? This happened at a big dept. store.

More facts are needed. Do you know why he assaulted you? Do they have evidence that you were shoplifiting or some other criminal act? Did the police come and arrest you? Did you resist arrest? Do you have any favorable witnesses? It may be that you were the victim of excessive force/unfairly assaulted and falsely imprisoned. You should consult an attorney. I hope this helps. Bob
