this one is long but i need to know what my options are.
my boyfriend and i were exiting a a very popular retail store after buying my daughter her valentines present (a my life size barbi). as we approached the doors outside this guy walks by and says p*ssy a** mother f*cker. my boyfriend turns and ask do i know you. the guy proceeds to walk up to me and my boyfriend and ask if we wanted to know him. a security officer is posted up not even 5 feet away and says nothing while they banter back andd forth. i asked the security gaurd is i could get a little help here and he just looks at me. i finally get my boyfriend to continue to leave and told the guy he needed to go inside and shop for whatever he intented to buy when he got here and leave us alone. as we are in the parking lot we hear "i'll f*cking cut you mother f*cker" we turn around and the guy not only followed us back out into the parking lot but he also had his hand in his pocket. i asked him "didnt i tell you to stay inside what the hell is your problem?" and he replies "i'll cut you too b*tch". i've had enough at this retail store. i flag him down and tell him look "this guy is harrassing us please get him away from us he's scaring me". so the security follows in his truck.and parks about a lane away from where my boyfriend and i have parked. (keep in mind this security officer NEVER steps out of his truck nor does he phone the police during the incidents i'm about to state.) he rolls his window down and the guy who's been harrassing us walks over to the truck and i'm not sure what he is saying but he keeps bantering us finally i get my boyfriend in his car(we drove seperate cars because i had just gotten off work at my second job and it was 10pm and i didnt want to go to the store alone, especially in my waitress outfit when anyone with sense knows i would probably have some cash on me.. therefore i got him to meet me up there, plus we were goin to hide my daughters barbi in his trunk until valentines day). he gets in his car and as i get in mine i notice this guy walking towards my car. (remember the security is STILL sitting in his truck) he puts his hand in his pocket, i check to see if my boyfriend had already left the parking lot and i see my boyfriend slam on his brakes, he gets out honks the horn(trying to get the attention away from me) and throws a red bull can at the guy who is still harrassing us. the guy then runs towards my boyfriends car, i back out of my parking spot and drive to where my boyfriend is. the guy tries to reach in my boyfriends window of his car with his KNIFE and my boyfriend takes off... the guy then throws the knife and ends up busting out my boyfriends back windshield of his brand new car with it. i'm freaking out at this point. i'm trying to find my phone and call the police(of course my purse is a suitcase!! so of course when i need it most i cant find it)... the guy starts taking his jacket off and wanting my boyfriend to fight him and my boyfriend tells him "sorry buddy whooping your *** isnt goin to fix my car's back windshield so i'll just call the police" the guy takes off down the sideroad.. my boyfriend drops the phone and ends up running over the guy cause when i see his head go down, i suppose to grab the phone, i see the boy walk into the front of his car.(remember that security officer??? yeah he's still in his truck, hasn't moved an inch). so my boyfriend keeps going.(yes i know a hit and run and this guy did press charges and wants my boyfriend to pay his medical bills now, it's been dropped to a felony.. leaving the scene of an accident with injuries... the guy seriously tried to get him for attempted vehicler homicide!!!!) anyways... 2 days later my picture is all over the news stating that i was in the vehicle that sent a man to the hospital when clearly i was driving my own car!!, wanna know who filed the police report .... the security officer in the parking lot!!! not only that ever since that night i have terrible anxiety when i am alone in parking lots or whenever it's just my child and i, and since have been put on xanax. so because of 2 security gaurds at this retail store just ignoring me and one of those morons stating i was in the same car with my boyfriend when he clearly saw me get into my own car, my face was all over the city news as well as our alabama state website!!!!! and in the paper. not to mention i had to explain to my 2 jobs why i was in the paper. and on top of it i feel so un-naturally unsafe in any parking lot i give myself panic attacks!! what are my rights??? and what can i do??? i'm still so upset about the situation and the parking lot panic attacks are really stating to affect my everyday life. i've never ever been in any kind of situation like that and i think about it all the time!! if anyone has any idea what i can do please tell me... thank you!

You can sue anyone or anything for whatever you want. It doesn't mean you'll win.

You might have a case for suing the store for the security guard allowing the incident to continue even after a request for assistance and the newspaper that published a false account of what happened.
