We identify each defendant and every insurance policy to maximize recovery.

How we prove your civil case

Duty and foreseeability

We show the property or organization knew or should have known about risks. Prior incidents, calls for service, and complaints establish notice.

Breach of reasonable care

We compare what safety required to what actually existed. Common failures include broken locks, poor lighting, nonfunctioning cameras, untrained staff, and uncontrolled access points.

Causation

We connect the security failure or negligence to the attack using timelines, access paths, blind spots, and witness accounts. For claims directly against the attacker, we prove the assault and resulting injuries.

Damages

We document medical treatment, therapy, lost income, and human losses such as pain, trauma, and loss of enjoyment of life. When the facts and law support it, we pursue punitive damages.

Evidence we move to secure quickly

Time matters. Many systems overwrite video and electronic logs within days.

Common assault scenarios we handle

If your situation is not listed, ask us. We evaluate the facts and advise on viable claims.

Your story is yours. We protect it while building the strongest case possible.

Damages we pursue

We partner with life care planners, vocational experts, and economists when long term needs must be explained and funded.

What to do now

Frequently asked questions
Do I have a civil case if there is also a criminal case
Often yes. The criminal case is separate. We use admissible evidence when helpful and keep your civil case on track.
You may still have a claim against the property or organization if negligent security or supervision contributed to the assault.
Maybe. Many cases resolve without trial, but we prepare you and seek protective measures to reduce unnecessary exposure.

Courts have specific rules. In some matters initials or protective orders are possible. We advise on options for your situation.

Most injury matters are contingency based. You pay no attorney fee unless compensation is recovered. All terms are provided in writing.
Deadlines vary by state and can be shorter when public entities are involved. Contact us quickly so your rights are preserved.
