San Jose Assault Victim Attorneys

An assault is a crime where the victim fears for their safety due to threats or attempts of danger by another individual. This may be accompanied by a battery which is a harmful, non-consensual touching. Commonly these two occur together and may be simply called an assault. As the victim of assault it is your right to file criminal charges against the person who assaulted you. With the representation of an experienced Northern California assault victim attorney you may also be able to file a civil lawsuit and recover monetary compensation for your injuries.

Children, the elderly, and women are some of the many people who are at risk for assault. In some cases the victim may be assaulted by a person they know, such as a family member, friend, or neighbor. Many assaults are hate crimes against certain populations, including, homeless, homosexual, and transgender people. Assault comes in many forms, including:

  • Sexual- forcing another person to engage in unwanted sexual acts, either by threats or force
  • Verbal- threats of violence
  • Physical- physical attack and infliction of pain

Property owners and operators are legally responsible for the maintenance of their property, and should provide all buildings with proper lighting and working locks. If an assault occurs on another person's property due to negligent maintenance the owner may be held liable for your injuries. If you were assaulted while on the property of another person you may have a California premises liability case.

If you or a loved one has been the victim of an assault resulting in a physical injury, please contact an experienced California Assault Victim attorney at Van Der Walde & Associates at (877) 862-6288.
