If you were assaulted by an establishment employee in the DFW area, you may be eligible for compensation by filing a lawsuit against their employer. Understanding your rights is critical to seeking justice and compensation for medical expenses, treatment costs, lost earnings, and other losses.

Here are some important steps to take following an assault by an establishment employee:

1. Ensure your safety: First, it’s essential to seek medical attention immediately if necessary and ensure your physical safety.
2. File a police report: Report the incident to local law enforcement as soon as possible. Remember to request a copy of the police report for your records.
3. Document the incident: If possible, gather evidence such as witness statements, security footage, or photos of any injuries sustained during the assault.
4. Contact a trusted Dallas attorney: Finally, it's imperative to contact a reputable attorney with experience in premises liability cases to understand your legal rights and options for compensation. Your lawyer can help you navigate the legal intricacies of your claim to prove negligence and maximize your chance of obtaining a just settlement.

If you were assaulted by an establishment employee, you may be eligible to recover compensation (“damages”) for losses related to the attack. Recoverable damages may include:

• Economic damages: These refer to tangible losses that are quantifiable in monetary terms, such as medical bills, treatment costs, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, and property damage.
• Non-economic damages: These refer to intangible losses that aren’t easily quantified in monetary amounts, but can still impact your quality of life. Examples include pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of consortium, scarring and disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life.
• Punitive damages: In cases where the employee’s actions are determined to be particularly egregious, the court may award punitive damages to punish the defendant and deter similar behavior in the future.
