Assault
How can you get compensation for injuries caused by a Minnesota assault?
If you or a family member are a victim of a Minnesota assault, not only is the perpetrator of the assault liable for your injuries, but if the injuries you sustained were the result of someone else’s negligence they may also be liable. This is important because the person who assaulted you may not have any money.
Parties that may be held liable for your injuries may include:
- Your landlord if he/her did not take necessary precautions to ensure your safety
- The owner of a business where the assault occurred
- The owner of the building where the assault occurred
- The owner of a parking lot that did not have the necessary security precautions
- A security company if the company failed to provide adequate security
- Your employer if the conditions in which you were working left you vulnerable to attack
- A homeowner if you were assaulted in someone’s home
- The perpetrator of the assault
