Not all premises assault cases are the result of negligence. To build a strong case for compensation, the evidence must show that the property owner or other responsible party failed to act reasonably to prevent your attack.
At Dansker & Aspromonte LLP Associates, we understand that the key to a strong claim is a careful investigation of your case which may involve:
For instance, if an intruder entered your apartment through a broken window that was reported to the landlord, pictures of the window or letters to the landlord could support your allegations. If you were hurt because you were assaulted by a drunk bar patron, security camera footage could demonstrate the nature of your attack. Obtaining all available evidence to support your case is what we do best.
Once our lawyers have performed a thorough review of your case and gathered all evidence to support that the other side was at fault for your injuries and we can evaluate the full extent of your injuries, we will work with you to begin negotiations with the at-fault parties to determine a fair and just settlement for your case.
Early resolution of your case with a quick settlement is generally not in your best interests until we have fully evaluated the true value of your claim. Be careful of efforts by the at-fault party to offer you a quick settlement immediately after your attack for this reason. If you have been approached by someone offering to settle your claim, call Dansker & Aspromonte LLP Associates first to discuss your rights.
In the aftermath of suffering an injury, you may be unsure of what actions to take to protect your rights.You can start protecting your right to fair compensation by preserving any evidence such as medical bills, names of any witnesses, taking photographs of your injuries and the location of your incident, if possible.
