Hello
I apologize if I am writing this on the incorrect part of the forum but had some trouble navigating around. Anyway regarding the situation, I am currently approaching 5 months pregnant and decided to go out on Friday. It was my friends 21st birthday and before I even knew I was expecting we had planned to go to London nightclubbing when her birthday came around. Well when I found out I was pregnant I decided I didn't want to go to London being 5 months pregnant at the time but I didn't want to miss out on her birthday either as she means a lot to me. We decided too all go to our local nightclub on the Friday and then her and the other girls would go to London without me on the Saturday.
We had a meal at about 9 and then approached the club around 10, my friends where all fairly drunk already from the wine at the meal and then had more drinks at the club however I had no drinks accept coke all night. It was approaching 1am and I was feeling tired and ready to go home, it was a bit boring as my friends where all extremely drunk and on the dance floor and I felt isolated. I was standing in an area where the music wasn't as loud because I was about to call my partner to get him to pick me up. There was a girl next to me who was crying and verbally fighting with her boyfriend. I was on the phone to my boyfriend and was having trouble hearing him so wasn't really paying any attention to the argument the attention was on what he was trying to say. Suddenly all I remember was my phone being knocked out of my hand and falling to the ground, the bouncer had took the boy out (who was arguing with the girlfriend) and was on top of him and the boy had fallen on top of me so I had 2 full grown men led on top of me. He then didn't even consider that I was under neath and needed to get up instead he restrained the boy first before pulling himself and him off me. He then chucked the boy out of the club and I was still led on the floor in shock and pain and he didn't even come back to even say sorry. I was gasping for breath and had horrible tummy pains like someone was still pressing on me. I got up and got my iphone and the screen was all smashed, I couldn't even phone my partner because I couldn't see the screen which was an issue because he didn't know where I was so couldn't pick me up.
I was very angry so went to see the same bouncer that pushed me to the ground and he basically just laughed in my face and told me to go home. I told him I had broken my phone and he started saying "you want to go after that boy because I didn't touch your phone love" I now had an audience and the other bouncer was laughing with him. I then told him I was pregnant and that I was in a lot of pain, by now I was really hurting my stomach felt like It was being trod on and I had to sit down. He first starting accusing me of lying saying I wasn't even pregnant. He then started telling me that he saw me drinking vodka and cokes all evening (which is a lie) he then said I didn't even look pregnant so how was he to know and that I shouldn't have been in the club if i was pregnant. When I threatened police he said they won't do anything because I shouldn't have been in the club, I didn't think it was ilegal for a pregnant girl to be in a club.
He then proceeded to tell me to get out and go home, I told him I couldn't call anyone because my phone was broken and was now crying because the pain had gotten so bad and I was worried that they had harmed the baby. He just laughed more and told me I was only crying because id had a "few too many" I asked him to call me an ambulance and he said no and chucked me out.
I asked someone in the line to phone an ambulance and they did and I went to hospital, my blood pressure was very high and the baby's heart rate was deceasing. At hospital I had my belly examined and my chest was very bruised as was my head and my stomach was red raw. I had a scan and luckily the baby was all fine but I had to stay in till Sunday night because they where very concerned.
Do I have any rights in this? I haven't involved any legal parties yet because I am nervous that I won't have a case or will be made out to look like the idiot again. My phone is smashed and I spent 2 days in hospital full of dread and fear that I was going to loose my baby and was treated horrifically by their staff. Where do I stand legally, is there anything I can do? I just feel so violated and embarrassed.
