Victims of Aggravated Assault

aggravated assault

According to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, 28,134 aggravated assaults occurred in the State of Tennessee. By statutory definition, victims of aggravated assault have suffered " serious bodily injury" . In addition to the significant medical bills for the physical aspects of the injury, victims of aggravated assault often need psychological counseling to help cope with the emotional aspects of the attack. Aggravated assaults can occur during the commission of or attempted commission of another crime such as robbery, rape, kidnapping.

If your or a loved one was the victim of an aggravated assault at a place of business such as a bar, convenience store, hotel, parking garage, etc. then you may be entitled to damages from the owner of the property or business regardless of whether the offender was caught by police. Depending upon the circumstances, business owners have a responsibility to take reasonable measures to protect their customers from foreseeable criminal attacks. For instance, if a particular parking garage has seen a rash of aggravated assaults, then Tennessee law dictates the business owner must take reasonable precautions to prevent such attacks. This may mean adding security cameras or hiring a patrolling guard.
