Helping Clients Hold the Responsible Parties Legally Accountable
If you have been physically or sexually assaulted, you may have a legal claim against the person who attacked you or that person's employer. If the responsible parties have insurance coverage or sufficient assets, you may be able to recover financial compensation.
At Poyner Baxter LLP in North Vancouver, our personal injury lawyers have more than 30 years of experience representing physical and sexual assault victims in British Columbia. We can help you determine whether you have a claim, and if so, we will pursue the results you deserve.
Pursuing Compensation for Excessive Force and Abusive Behaviour
Many people do not realize that you can sue someone for assaulting you. Even if the person who attacked you is not criminally charged for the assault, he or she may still be required to pay you compensation. Depending on the circumstances, his or her employer may also be held responsible.
Even people who have been authorized to use force in limited circumstances can be held accountable for using excessive force or committing sexual assault. Our firm pursues civil cases against all types of defendants, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Police officers
- Prison guards
- Security guards
-
Nightclub bouncers
Our lawyers will carefully evaluate the facts of your case to determine whether you have a personal injury claim. We will also investigate whether other people have been treated the same way by the same defendant, in which case it may be appropriate to file a class action.
