Assault is a form of physical and emotional violation that is not only jarring but can permanently change the trajectory of your life. To this end, anyone who becomes a victim of an assault on someone else’s property, whether residential or commercial, will suffer from feelings of helplessness and depression in the aftermath, wondering if they could have done anything differently. The truth, however, is that property owners owe you a duty of care to maintain a level of security that is seen in similar properties so that any would-be instances of assault are dealt with before they even occur. It is important to note that the laws surrounding this are codified under premises liability law, and they state that should you get injured in any way via the negligent acts of a property owner leading to the breach of said duty of care, you may be entitled to compensation. A payout might seem just self-representation, but dealing with the property owner by yourself is just about the worst thing you can do for yourself. The fallout of an assault on a property can be complex and far-reaching, and every aspect of your life may be affected. To this end, you will need timely legal advice so you can file a claim citing a comprehensive scope of damages to make sure you are made fully whole again, and we’re here to help with that.

Compensation for Victims of Assault Due to Unsafe Property or Premises

According to personal injury law, all injured individuals are entitled to compensation if they are able to demonstrate that the defendant acted in a negligent manner and that this negligence was a direct cause of their injuries. Compensation is divided into two categories: economic, and non-economic. While both of these involve a dollar amount, non-economic damages have to do with the social and emotional fallout associated with a personal injury claim, and may come in handy for those who did not suffer obvious physical injuries.

Some of the economic damages you can recover include the following:

• Medical Expenses: This includes all costs related to your treatment after the injury, which includes things like surgeries, hospital bills, prescription medications, future medical procedures, and even physical therapy
• Lost Wages: After the assault, you may need to stay home after getting treatment and even attend emergency therapy sessions which may be intensive and cause you to lose out on work days. Because of this, you may be able to recover compensation for any lost wages as well as future lost income if the assault was so severe or led to extensive injuries, making it impossible for you to return to work
• Out-of-Pocket Expenses: If you incurred expenses in the aftermath of the assault such as the cost of transportation to and from medical appointments, at-home care services, babysitting or childcare expenses due to having to go out to seek medical attention, you may be able to claim these as damages

Some of the most common non-economic damages include the following:

• Emotional Distress: the emotional distress one experiences after an assault incident may plunge them into PTSD, depression and anxiety, necessitating therapy. Consequently, the defendant or the property owner or both will have to compensate you for this as they directly contributed to the same
• Loss of Enjoyment of Life: If your injuries hinder your ability to take part in and enjoy your daily activities, relationships and hobbies, you may be able to claim damages for the same
• Loss of Consortium: If you are married, your spouse may be able to claim damages for the loss of affection and support they experienced as a result of your withdrawal on account of the pain and distress caused by your injuries
