Your problem is that you had no business being there and were doing something you had no business doing. I don't see negligence on anyone except maybe your friend and I doubt if he has liability insurance. | | | | New Member | |

| | | oh ok i thought that because he allowed me to come into the building that he would be responsible for the accident | | | | Computer Expert and Renaissance Man | |

HE might be held responsible. But as an off the books security guard, what do you think you will get from him? | | | | Expert | |

If the injury occurred on the job site, within the course and scope of the employment, the employer would probably be liable. | | | | Computer Expert and Renaissance Man | |

I'm just not sure, this was being done within the course and scope of employment.
But an attorney will probably give a free consult so its worth asking. | | |
