You should seek monetary compensation from persons who intentionally hurt you or offensively touched you and from companies that contributed to the cause of the attack.

I will aggressively pursue those who:

  • sexually attack you; or
  • touch you in any other harmful or offensive manner.

I will also aggressively pursue those who contribute to an attack by:

  • creating dangerous areas where attacks may occur
  • failing to provide adequate security or lighting
  • encouraging or ignoring a hostile work environment (if you were attacked by a co-employee at work)
  • failed to properly monitor, supervise, or train an employee (for example, if you were attacked by an overly aggressive bouncer)
