Accountability and Justice for Victims of Violent Assaults
At Isenberg & Hewitt, we represent victims and their families in civil claims against negligent property owners, security companies, and other third parties whose actions (or inactions) contributed to preventable acts of violence. We believe that victims of violent assaults deserve more than criminal prosecution, they deserve answers, accountability and justice.
Assault is not only a crime; it’s a life-altering event. Whether it occurs at a place of business, a private residence or in a public setting, survivors are often left with physical injuries, emotional trauma and financial burdens. Our firm is committed to helping victims pursue compensation and accountability through the civil justice system, especially in cases where property owners failed to provide adequate security.
We represent clients in assault-related cases involving:
Rape & Sexual Assault
Survivors of rape and sexual assault deserve justice, support and protection. We represent victims in civil lawsuits against employers, property owners, care facilities and institutions that allowed the abuse to happen or failed to act when they should have. Civil action empowers survivors to take back control and hold wrongdoers accountable, even if the criminal justice system fails the victim.
Assaults on Minors
Children are especially vulnerable to assault, whether in schools, daycares, religious institutions or youth organizations. We represent families seeking civil justice for assaults on minors, pursuing those who failed in their duty to supervise, protect or report abuse.
Apartment Assaults
Apartment complexes are legally required to provide reasonably safe environments for their residents and guests. When property owners or managers ignore broken gates, nonfunctioning locks or a history of criminal activity, they may be held liable for any resulting assaults due to their negligence.
ATM Assaults and Robberies
ATMs are frequent targets for violent crime. When banks, property managers, or convenience store owners fail to implement basic security measures like lighting, surveillance, or security patrols they may be liable for assaults and robberies that happen on their premises.
Night Deposit Assaults & Robberies
Night deposit boxes are often located in poorly lit or unguarded areas, putting business owners and employees at risk. When a financial institution or property owner fails to protect night deposit users from foreseeable criminal acts, they may bear civil liability for resulting assaults and injuries.
Bar and Nightclub Assaults
Fights and assaults at bars, clubs or restaurants are often the result of poor security, over-service of alcohol, or failure to control patrons. Property owners and operators may be held civilly liable when their negligence contributes to violent encounters.
Parking Lot Assaults
Poorly lit or unsupervised parking areas are among the most common locations for assaults and robberies. If a business or property owner ignores a known risk of criminal activity, they can be held responsible for failing to protect their patrons.
Holding Negligent Parties Accountable for Assault Injuries
Isenberg & Hewitt investigates every assault case with the care and diligence it deserves. Our experienced team gathers evidence, works with security and premises liability experts, and helps survivors pursue full and fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. In many cases, our clients find that civil litigation offers a path to justice that the criminal system does not.
