Who We Could Hold Liable for Your Assault

We can start your claim to recover compensation from the property owner or other responsible parties who allowed your assault to happen. In doing so we will thoroughly investigate what happened and why it happened to determine who is to blame. For instance, suppose you were assaulted in the stairwell of your apartment. Maybe the lights were not functioning and created a dark and dangerous condition allowing a perpetrator the opportunity to harm you.

In this case, you could have a case against the building’s owner and any entity that manages the property. We could argue that because of the negligence of the property owner and/or manager in allowing the lights to remain in disrepair, you were assaulted. Other hazards include broken locks, defective security systems, a lack of sufficient security measures, or negligent hiring where employees with criminal backgrounds are hired despite the dangers they present.

You may be able to sue a private entity or municipality for your sexual assault-related losses. All cases have time limits. Your sexual assault attorney will help you adhere to the deadlines imposed by the state’s statute of limitations and notice of claim requirements.

Ways That a Party Could Be Negligent

Several parties could be liable for multiple reasons. Some hazards that could constitute negligence include:

  • A defective security system: This could include non-working security cameras or malfunctioning electric door locks. The building owner and manager could be liable in your case for failing to maintain and repair the security system properly.
  • A broken entrance door or gate enabling an attacker to gain entry into the building or property.
  • A negligent employee: This person could have failed to secure the building or make a repair, or failed to respond to a call for help.
  • An employer hires an employee who perpetrates the attack: This is known as negligent hiring, where the employer hires or maintains an employee when they know or should have known about their employee’s inclination toward violence.

Potentially Recoverable Damages in a Sexual Assault Case

You might be entitled to a large financial award from a party whose action or inaction led to your assault. Your lawyer can help you evaluate the scope of your losses and calculate their values accordingly.

Economic Losses

If you suffered an injury that affected your daily life, this could also entitle you to damages. If you incurred or continue to incur medical expenses such as hospital treatment, medical visits, therapy, or counseling. If you require prescription medication, you can seek to be reimbursed for these expenses.

If you needed to take time off work due to your sexual assault, we can help you pursue lost wages, lost income, and loss of benefits. If your assault has affected your ability to earn a living, we can also help you seek compensation for your future loss of earnings and benefits.

Non-economical Losses

Non-economic losses such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life are also compensable. We know that money cannot fix the pain you feel. Additionally, it might take a long time for you to recover emotionally from this event.

To promote your mental health, you are encouraged to seek therapeutic services for conditions like anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Mayo Clinic affirms that a traumatic event can trigger PTSD. A sexual assault can certainly classify as such. You are also entitled to damages for your emotional pain.
