Nebraska Assault Lawsuit Attorney
If your assault resulted in bodily injury, we can determine what legal recourse you may have. You might be entitled to monetary damages for:
- Sexual assault or mugging
- A bar fight initiated by some drunken idiot
- An attack by a gang of people
- A fight in which the other person used a weapon
State law is not especially favorable to assault victims. So it is all the more important to talk to a lawyer as soon as possible after the incident. We need to examine the police report, talk to witnesses and document your injuries while the evidence is fresh.
In a civil suit, the attacker's insurance must pay for your medical care and lost wages stemming from the attack, as well as compensation for any lasting disfigurement or disability. You may also receive a limited amount of money for pain and suffering or for emotional trauma.
We also explore whether there are any third parties who are liable for your assault injuries, such as a bar owner or parking lot owner who was negligent in security measures, or anyone who aided in the attack (holding you down, serving as the lookout, etc.).
