New York Premises Liability Attorney

Assault and Battery · Negligent Security · Premises Accidents

New York personal injury lawyer Daniel A. Kalish has 20 years of experience in helping victims of assault. If you were a victim of assault, you may recover compensation for your injuries and emotional distress, especially in cases where a criminal court found your assailant guilty.

We realize this is a difficult time for you, but it is urgent that you get legal advice before the statute of limitations expires. Contact our White Plains law office if you would like a free consultation with Mr. Kalish.

• A sexual assault that results in post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSS), a beating that causes a serious injury such as brain damage or paralysis, and a drunk driving accident that entitles a survivor to a wrongful death claim are each treated differently under the law.
   
• In cases where an assault can be traced to negligent security, premises liability insurance is often responsible for paying the victim’s claim. If it can be shown that a landlord or building management was told of a broken lock, or if a reasonable person should have realized a poorly lit parking lot was unsafe, the claim may be successful.
   
• If an employee, police officer, or security worker assaults a person at a nightclub, office building, school building, or police station, the employer may be responsible for damages.
   
• A victim can file an assault and battery lawsuit directly against the assailant, as in a domestic abuse case, rape, or a robbery and shooting. The statute of limitations for a civil claim for intentional harm is shorter than that for negligence – contact a lawyer as soon as possible if you have been assaulted.
