How Liability is Determined in Assault Injury Cases
Determining liability in assault injury cases can be a complex process, and it depends on various factors. Liability may be attributed to different parties involved:
- Criminal Acts: When the assault is a result of criminal activity, the perpetrator may face criminal charges. However, victims can also pursue civil remedies to seek compensation.
- Premises Liability: In cases where the assault occurred on a property, premises liability may come into play. Property owners are responsible for providing reasonable security, and if they fail in this duty, they may be held liable.
- Negligence: In certain situations, third parties who contributed to the assault by failing to provide reasonable security or taking actions that led to the incident may also bear liability.
By thoroughly investigating the circumstances surrounding the assault, our attorneys work diligently to determine liability and build a compelling case to secure the compensation you deserve.
