Understanding Your Assault Injury Case
When someone intentionally harms you through physical violence, the injuries can be devastating—both physically and emotionally. In addition to criminal charges the assailant may face, you may also be entitled to compensation through a civil personal injury claim. At Fielding Law, our legal team takes your case seriously. We investigate thoroughly, preserve evidence, and aggressively pursue financial recovery for your medical bills, lost wages, emotional distress, and more.
Common Types of Assault
Assault can happen anywhere—at home, in public spaces, or even at work. Some of the most common cases we handle include:
-
Physical Altercations – Fights, attacks, or battery involving fists, objects, or weapons
-
Sexual Assault – Any non-consensual sexual contact, including rape and molestation
-
Domestic Violence – Assault or abuse from a spouse, partner, or household member
-
Bar or Nightclub Fights – Often involve security negligence or alcohol-fueled aggression
-
Assault by Security Personnel – When excessive force is used in stores, concerts, or events
-
Workplace Assault – Attacks by coworkers, clients, or customers while on the job
In some cases, negligent security by a property owner may also be a factor, and we explore all possible angles to help you receive justice.
Injuries Resulting from Assault
Injuries caused by assault can be long-lasting and require extensive care. Victims often suffer:
-
Bruises, Cuts, and Abrasions
-
Broken Bones and Facial Injuries
-
Concussions and Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
-
Spinal Cord Damage
-
Emotional Trauma and PTSD
-
Scarring and Disfigurement
These injuries may affect your ability to work, maintain relationships, or live without fear. Your assault injury lawyer will work with medical experts, therapists, and financial planners to understand the full scope of your damages.

-
Report the Assault to Police – A criminal report supports your civil case.
-
Document Everything – Take photos, save clothing, and collect witness names.

California & Arizona Assault Laws
Each state has its own laws governing assault and injury claims. At Fielding Law, we handle cases across both California and Arizona:
-
California: Victims may file a civil claim separately from any criminal charges. The statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally two years from the date of the assault.
-
Arizona: Assault victims have a two-year window to file a civil lawsuit. Arizona also allows comparative fault, which could impact compensation if the assailant argues provocation or mutual combat.
Whether your case is in California or Arizona, our team has the knowledge and local insight to help you succeed.
