    PRACTICE AREA

    Sexual Assault

    There are few things as violating as a sexual assault. For victims, putting their lives back together can seem impossible. Sexual assault victims have legal rights, and if they choose to enforce them, they may be able to prevent further abuse to others and obtain compensation for their injuries. While no amount of money can take away the pain, it can help pay for the cost of counseling and alleviate other financial burdens.

    Hotel Sexual Assault

    Hotels that fail to take proper security measures to prevent entry to your room; or fail to properly screen their staff for criminal history, and those that fail to properly train their staff in crime prevention can be held liable through lawsuits if a patron was sexually assaulted on premises,.. Given the nature of hotels, the number of private spaces where sexual assault can occur, and the fact that staff may sometimes be alone in rooms with guests, the opportunities for sexual assault to occur at a hotel are higher.

    While it is primarily the responsibility of hotels to provide a safe and secure experience for travelers, Blizzard Greenberg attorneys have handled several cases in which hotel staff members and security failed to provide minimum safety standards that would have prevented sexual assaults and attempted sexual assaults of hotel guests.

    Premises Liability

    Premises liability is a legal concept that puts a responsibility on property owners to protect visitors from harm. This responsibility includes keeping visitors safe from not only dangerous conditions, but also from criminal activity. Certain commercial structures like parking garages, apartment complexes, and nightclubs are prone to crime, so owners of these properties are expected to provide adequate security for visitors. This can include proper lighting, security gates, security cameras, or even security personnel. When property owners fail to take steps to secure a property, they can be held responsible when visitors are injured.

    Oftentimes, sexual assaults take place in areas where previous crimes have been committed. In these instances, property owners knew of the risks present for visitors, but negligently chose not to take corrective action.

    Filing A Personal Injury Lawsuit After An Assault

    Sexual assault victims that report the event to law enforcement can receive justice through the criminal justice system; however, the criminal justice system is not designed to compensate victims for their injuries. The only way for victims to recover compensation is to file a personal injury lawsuit. Coming forward is incredibly difficult for victims, but doing so in both criminal and civil proceedings can greatly help victims regain control of their lives and begin to heal. Victims may be able to recover compensation to help pay for counseling or therapy and relieve other financial burdens that may be inhibiting their recovery.
