Parking Lot Assault Claims: What They Are and Who They Serve<\/h2>\n

A parking lot assault claim is a civil injury case against the people who controlled the property where the attack happened. It asks whether they failed to take reasonable steps against a risk they should have seen coming.<\/p>\n

A civil claim asks for money to cover your losses. It is separate from any criminal case against the attacker. A criminal case is brought by the government. A civil claim is brought by the injured person. In a death case, it is brought by the personal representative of the deceased person.<\/p>\n
