Victims of assault experience some of the worst trauma. In many cases, the perpetrators of this abuse do go to court and may even face criminal charges, but if the victim doesn’t bring a civil suit, they often never get justice for their injuries and suffering. If you were the victim of assault or battery, then it’s important to speak with an assault lawyer as soon as possible.
