Absolutely. If a store security guard falsely detains someone causing damages to the person, the unlawfully detained person may certain seek civil action. This is why store security rarely detains someone without first seeing a crime taking place (concealing merchandise). Being wrong can be very costly to a business. More so, If Police are summoned and it's discovered that a person has done no wrong doing, the business can be subjected to penalties for false reporting.
