Lawyer For Employee Assault and Battery

If you have been the victim of workplace assault or battery, whether sexual in nature or simply physical, speaking with a lawyer experienced in employee assault and battery is crucial. They will advise on the appropriate reporting channels as well as ensure your legal rights are upheld against perpetrator(s).

An attorney will not only give you an overview of your legal options and explain how criminal charges might be filed against those responsible, but will also assist in filing civil charges against those who attacked you – this means seeking justice through civil actions such as lawsuits for compensation for medical expenses, lost wages and emotional trauma suffered as a result of being attacked.

Victims of workplace violence may qualify for workers’ compensation benefits; however, they may also choose to file a civil suit against their employers when violence occurs during work-related activity and that coverage doesn’t adequately meet expenses incurred as a result.

Employer assault and battery lawyers also assist clients who have been victims of sexually motivated assault that occurs outside the workplace. While sexual assault is typically regarded as a felony under state law, there may be exceptions; for example if your attacker was healthcare worker, emergency medical technician/ambulance attendant, police officer, firefighter, public utility employee/public service worker etc… they may face reduced penalties for their offense.

Other forms of workplace violence may include verbal harassment and discriminatory remarks. An attorney can help victims file civil suits against any perpetrator(s), as well as any institution who may share liability for these events – for example employers, coworkers present during an assault and battery incident, property owners (if the incident took place at a restaurant, hotel, or business).

Like civil lawsuits, statutes of limitation specify how long you have to file your claim before losing any opportunity for compensation for injuries and losses sustained. If this deadline passes without being observed, any right to receive such payments becomes null and void. Assault and battery offenses typically have one year statutes of limitation in most states; to make sure you meet this deadline, immediately contact an attorney for employee assault and battery to avoid missing it.
