How Do You Sue Someone For Assault?
When someone is assaulted, whether by a stranger, friend, family member, romantic partner or business associate, there is a feeling of violation and also possible medical expenses that result. Whether or not criminal assault charges are being pressed against the person who hit or otherwise physically struck out against you, you can still sue the perpetrator in a civil court of law. Depending on how serious the case is, you can do it yourself in small claims court or secure the services of a personal injury attorney to sue the assailant in a higher civil court.
