Why Work with a Dollar Tree Sexual Assault Attorney?
Blizzard Greenberg is not approaching these cases for the first time.
Our attorneys have spent years investigating reported assaults at Dollar Tree stores, developing evidence concerning similar incidents around the country and examining the retailer’s security practices and response to those incidents.
Blizzard Greenberg’s work includes:
- Filing civil lawsuits seeking to hold Dollar Tree accountable for alleged security failures.
- Conducting an independent investigation that identified more than 60 reported sex crimes at Dollar Tree and Family Dollar locations since 2017.
- Investigating an online community in which perpetrators shared content and encouraged similar assaults.
- Representing women in Dollar Tree litigation in multiple states.
- Applying the firm’s nationally recognized experience in civil sexual assault litigation to these cases.
That experience matters. These cases involve more than establishing that an assault occurred. They require investigating what a corporation knew, when it knew it and whether reasonable action could have prevented the harm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sue Dollar Tree if I was sexually assaulted in one of its stores?
Yes. Whether Dollar Tree can be held legally responsible depends on the circumstances of the assault and the law of the state where it occurred. An attorney can investigate issues such as previous incidents, store security, staffing and what Dollar Tree knew or should have known about the risk to customers.
Does it matter which state the assault happened in?
Yes. Premises liability and negligence laws vary significantly by state, including the standards used to determine when a business can be held responsible for criminal conduct by a third party. Blizzard Greenberg is pursuing Dollar Tree litigation in multiple states and evaluates each potential case under the law that applies where the incident occurred.
What if the person who assaulted me was never caught?
An arrest or criminal conviction is not required to pursue a civil claim. A civil case against Dollar Tree examines the retailer’s own conduct and whether its alleged negligence contributed to the circumstances that allowed the assault to occur.
Dollar Tree says it is not responsible. What does that mean for my case?
Businesses commonly dispute responsibility for crimes committed by third parties. That does not automatically determine the outcome of a civil case. The question is whether the evidence and applicable law support holding the business responsible for its own conduct, including what it knew about the risk and whether its response was reasonable.
How long do I have to file a lawsuit against Dollar Tree?
The deadline for filing a civil lawsuit is governed by a statute of limitations, and those deadlines vary by state and by the circumstances of the case. Because waiting can also make evidence more difficult to preserve, anyone considering a claim should speak with an attorney as soon as possible about the deadline that applies to their situation.
What evidence do I need, and what if I do not have much?
You do not need to have all of the evidence before speaking with an attorney. Relevant evidence may include surveillance footage, police records, witness information, photographs or videos, communications, receipts or other records showing when you were at the store, as well as store records, prior incident reports and corporate documents that may be obtained through an investigation or litigation.
If you have evidence related to what happened, preserve as much of it as possible and avoid deleting, altering or discarding anything that could be relevant. An attorney can help identify what additional evidence may exist and take steps to preserve or obtain information that is not in your possession.
