How Our Assault Attorneys Can Help You Recover Compensation
When you entrust your case to our legal team, you can expect us to:
- Investigate the assault: To resolve your case, we must show how another party’s actions or negligence led to your injuries. Supporting information in your case may comprise photos of your condition, text messages, and surveillance video.
- Determine the damages you incurred: Our team can identify the damages you suffered from the assault. We determine the value of these losses by assessing receipts, bills, and invoices. Your own testimony plays an instrumental role in how we determine your pain and suffering.
- Send a demand letter to the liable party: Once we know how much compensation to seek in your case, we can send a demand letter. This document outlines the details of your case, along with how much money you can seek.
- Negotiate a settlement agreement: If the other party doesn’t accept the terms outlined in the demand letter, we can negotiate for a fair settlement. We have strong negotiators who advocate for claimants like you every day. Our team knows what our clients deserve, and we can fight for you.
- File a lawsuit in civil court. If the liable party doesn’t offer compensation, we can file a lawsuit. We must meet the statute of limitations deadline to file a lawsuit in California. CCP § 335.1 states that you generally have two years from the date of the assault to file a lawsuit.
Once the two years pass, you could lose your opportunity to hold the other party accountable. If you contact our California physical assault attorneys soon after the incident, we can prevent any deadlines from expiring and threatening your right to sue.

What Should I Do While Considering Legal Action in California?
You have enough on your plate after experiencing physical assault. Yet, the following considerations could ease your anxiety and make for a straightforward claims process:
- Seek medical attention. Our firm encourages you to visit a healthcare provider if you haven’t done so already. We want you to fully recover from your condition. Also, the treatment you get from your doctor can serve as evidence in your case.
- Limit what information you share online. Anything you share on social media is public record. If the other party sees your posts, they could twist your words into something you didn’t mean. This could complicate your path to recovering damages. So, as your case unfolds, we recommend taking a break from social media.
- Refuse to give a recorded statement. Despite what they tell you, the other party isn’t entitled to a recorded statement after they learn about your case. Our lawyers manage all communication with those involved, so you don’t have to. If a claims adjuster asks you for a recorded statement, direct them to your lawyer.
- Run any settlement offers past your legal team. Your case ends once you accept a settlement, even if it’s not enough to cover your losses. If the other party offers a settlement, run it past your lawyer. We can assess whether it fully accounts for your hardships. If not, we may continue negotiating or file a lawsuit.
- Don’t retaliate. We understand that you could face a whirlwind of emotions after suffering physical assault. Yet, we encourage you to refrain from threatening, texting, or even communicating with the at-fault party. They could use anything you put in writing (or say aloud) to contest your claim.
We also encourage you to consider legal help. Having a lawyer on your side could make a huge difference in how your case progresses.
