Understanding Assault Injury Claims in California
Your Legal Rights After an Assault
California law provides robust protections for assault victims, including financial restitution through civil claims. Assault cases differ from accidents in that they involve intentional acts designed to cause harm. To succeed, your case must establish:
- Intent: Evidence that the defendant intended harm or offensive contact.
- Damages: Proof of physical, emotional, or financial harm resulting from the assault.
California's Marsy's Law provides additional safeguards, ensuring that victims are treated with fairness, dignity, and respect throughout the legal process.
Compensation for Assault Injuries
Victims of assault are entitled to recover damages that reflect the full scope of their losses, including:
- Medical Expenses: Past and future costs of treatment, surgeries, therapy, and rehabilitation.
- Lost Wages: Compensation for time missed from work or reduced earning capacity.
- Pain and Suffering: Damages for emotional distress, psychological trauma, and diminished quality of life.
- Punitive Damages: Additional compensation to punish the defendant for egregious conduct.
Our team meticulously calculates damages to help ensure that every dollar of your loss is accounted for. We refuse to let insurance companies or defendants undervalue your claim.
The Role of Marsy's Law in Assault Cases
Marsy's Law, California's Victims' Bill of Rights, offers vital protections for assault survivors. Under this law, victims have the right to:
- Be informed of all court proceedings.
- Refuse interviews or discovery requests from the defendant or their legal team.
- Seek restitution for financial losses.
This law empowers victims to pursue justice without fear of intimidation or revictimization.
How Greenberg and Ruby Builds a Winning Case
Thorough Investigation
We leave no stone unturned when investigating your case. Our team gathers:
- Police reports and incident records.
- Eyewitness statements and surveillance footage.
- Medical records documenting the extent of your injuries.
- Expert testimony to quantify future damages and verify the defendant's intent.
This comprehensive approach ensures that your case is built on solid evidence and compelling narratives.
Aggressive Negotiation and Trial Advocacy
While many assault cases settle out of court, our team prepares every case as if it will go to trial. Emily Ruby's experience as a CAALA Trial Academy graduate ensures that we are ready to present a strong, persuasive case before a judge and jury if needed.
Maximizing Compensation
We understand that compensation must address more than immediate expenses. That's why we pursue damages for long-term medical care, emotional recovery, and financial stability. Our goal is to help you rebuild your life and hold the responsible parties fully accountable.
