Imagine going about your daily routine—staying in a hotel, using a restroom, or changing in a locker room—only to later discover that someone had secretly recorded you. This nightmare scenario is becoming increasingly common, as hidden camera cases continue to emerge in rental properties, workplaces, schools, gyms, and other private spaces.
Victims of illegal surveillance and privacy violations have the right to take legal action against the individuals and institutions responsible. At Sauder Schelkopf, we are actively investigating cases where people were unknowingly recorded in places where they expected privacy.
Who Can File a Hidden Camera Lawsuit?
If you were secretly recorded without consent, you may have a legal claim against:
1. Businesses and Employers
Companies that allow hidden cameras in workplaces, bathrooms, or break areas can be held accountable for violating employee and customer privacy rights.
2. Hotels, Airbnb, and Rental Properties
Many hidden camera cases involve hotels and short-term rentals where guests were unknowingly recorded. Landlords and property owners who fail to prevent or disclose illegal surveillance can be held legally responsible.
3. Schools and Universities
Students and staff have a right to privacy. Schools that fail to address hidden camera incidents in locker rooms, bathrooms, or dormitories may be liable for negligence.
4. Public Spaces (Gyms, Spas, Restrooms, and More)
Hidden cameras have been found in gym locker rooms, public bathrooms, tanning salons, and spas, violating the privacy of unsuspecting visitors. If a business failed to prevent this, victims may have legal recourse.
What Legal Claims Can Be Made?
Victims of hidden camera abuse can pursue lawsuits based on:
✅ Invasion of privacy – Secretly recording someone in a private setting is illegal.
✅ Negligence and premises liability – Businesses and landlords can be held accountable if they fail to prevent or address hidden camera incidents.
✅ Intentional infliction of emotional distress – Victims suffer lasting psychological trauma.
✅ State and federal privacy law violations – Many states have strict laws against unauthorized recording.
What Compensation Can Hidden Camera Victims Receive?
A successful hidden camera lawsuit can help victims recover:
💰 Compensation for emotional distress and trauma
💰 Medical and psychological treatment expenses
💰 Loss of privacy and reputation damage
💰 Punitive damages to hold perpetrators accountable
