False imprisonment cases often involve powerful institutions, employers, healthcare facilities, security companies, or individuals attempting to justify conduct that violated another person’s rights.
Early legal guidance can help preserve evidence and protect your ability to pursue a claim.
False imprisonment occurs when a person is intentionally confined, restrained, or detained against their will without lawful authority.
The detention does not necessarily require physical force.
A person may be unlawfully restrained through threats, intimidation, abuse of authority, or actions that make them reasonably believe they are not free to leave.
Individuals may be held liable when they unlawfully detain another person without legal authority.
Retail stores, shopping centers, and private businesses sometimes detain customers without proper justification.
Security personnel may exceed their authority and unlawfully restrict a person’s freedom.
A person may be restrained against their will even without physical force.
Hospitals, nursing homes, and treatment facilities may face liability when individuals are improperly confined.
Private citizens generally do not have unlimited authority to detain others.
Employers may face liability when employees are unlawfully confined or coerced into remaining in a location.
Residents deserve dignity, freedom, and lawful treatment.
The defendant intentionally confined or restrained the individual.
The detention occurred without the victim’s voluntary consent.
The person responsible lacked lawful justification for the confinement.
The detention caused measurable harm, emotional distress, or other damages.
Every case is different.
Depending on the circumstances, compensation may include:
Many victims experience anxiety, humiliation, fear, embarrassment, and psychological trauma following unlawful detention.
Compensation may reflect the loss of personal freedom, autonomy, and dignity.
Wrongful detention can damage personal relationships, professional opportunities, and public reputation.
Lost wages, missed employment opportunities, and other economic damages may be recoverable.
Counseling, therapy, and mental health treatment expenses may be included in a claim.
Depending on the facts of the case, additional compensation may be available under South Carolina law.
Every false imprisonment claim presents unique circumstances, and Thomas can help evaluate the damages that may apply to your situation.
Strong cases are built on evidence.
Thomas works to gather and evaluate:
Video evidence may establish the circumstances of the detention and whether the restraint was lawful.
Witnesses can help verify what occurred and provide important context.
Emails, reports, internal communications, and company records may reveal critical information.
Official documentation often helps establish timelines, actions taken, and responsibility.
