Assault Lawyers

Assault involves intentional or unintentional and unwanted physical or sexual contact.

People who assault others face criminal responsibility for their actions.

Where the assault causes the victim to suffer personal injury, the victim is entitled to recover personal injury compensation.

Our courts have held that not only is the assaulter responsible for compensating the victim, but anyone who exercises control, supervision or employs the assaulter may also be held responsible. Schools, churches, those responsible for improperly supervised events, concerts and gatherings, bar and tavern owners and negligent parents all owe a duty to take care to prevent assaults. Where they fail to do so, they may be responsible for injury. Normally, their insurers will pay the injured person’s compensation.

In Ontario, assault victims who suffer serious and permanent injuries can recover damages compensating them for all of their losses, including their pain and suffering, their past and future lost income, their extraordinary future health care and home maintenance costs, and their out of pocket expenses.

Time limits govern when you must notify the responsible parties that you intend to bring a claim and they govern when you must start your claim for compensation. These time limits can restrict your rights to recover your losses. Not everyone is entitled to claim compensation from the person who caused the accident. Each claim is different. Assessing your injuries, identifying those responsible for the assault and determining the value of your claim requires analysis by an experienced personal injury lawyer.
