This week, a process server I know very well, and who is a very likeable, professional and tenacious server, was significantly assaulted whilst serving paperwork. He was outnumbered, and set upon by a ‘gang’ of men, taken to the ground, and assaulted. The police arrived promptly, and due to the volatility of the situation, a police officer was also punched, resulting in the use of pepper spray on the attackers.

I am pleased to learn that no serious harm came to the process server, and that in his words ‘his good looks remain intact’. It does however highlight the danger we can expose ourselves to in our daily dealings.

We all take our jobs very seriously, and never assume a situation will run smoothly, but we would urge our clients to make sure we are made aware of potentially volatile situations in advance, because we can then make the necessary arrangements to ensure our process servers are kept safe.
