Assault Lawyer in Toronto
If you’ve been physically assaulted in Toronto or Ontario, you may have two separate legal paths available to you. While the criminal justice system prosecutes the attacker, a civil assault lawyer helps you pursue financial compensation directly — for your medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering. At Salehi Law, we represent assault victims in civil claims across Toronto and Ontario, with no fees unless we recover compensation for you.
How an Assault Lawyer Can Help
An experienced assault lawyer helps victims understand their legal options after a violent incident. While criminal charges may be filed against the attacker, victims may also have the right to pursue a civil claim for compensation.
At Salehi Law, we investigate the circumstances of the assault, gather medical and witness evidence, and identify all responsible parties. In some cases, a property owner, business, or security provider may also be liable if they failed to provide a safe environment.
Common Injuries from Assault
Assaults can cause serious and lasting injuries. These may include:
- Broken bones
- Head or brain injuries
- Facial injuries or dental damage
- Soft tissue injuries
- Psychological trauma
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Because these injuries can affect every part of your life, an assault lawyer will work to ensure your claim reflects the full impact of the incident.
Who Can Be Held Liable for an Assault?
Many victims assume only the attacker is responsible. However, liability may extend to other parties. A skilled assault lawyer will examine:
- Negligent security at bars, clubs, or events
- Poor lighting or unsafe premises
- Lack of proper staff training
- Failure to prevent foreseeable violence
For example, if an assault occurs at a business with inadequate security, the property owner may share responsibility for the victim’s injuries.
Compensation Available for Assault Victims
With the help of an assault lawyer, you may be able to recover compensation for:
- Medical expenses including emergency care, therapy, and rehabilitation
- Lost income or reduced earning ability
- Pain and suffering damages
- Psychological injuries including anxiety, PTSD, and depression
- Long-term disability or impairment
- Out-of-pocket expenses directly caused by the assault
At Salehi Law, we carefully assess every case to pursue maximum compensation for our clients.
How Long Do You Have to File an Assault Claim in Ontario?
In most cases, Ontario’s Limitations Act gives you two years from the date of the assault to start a civil lawsuit. In some circumstances involving ongoing trauma or delayed discovery of injuries, exceptions may apply. Speaking with a lawyer early protects your rights and preserves evidence.
When Property Owners or Businesses May Also Be Liable
If your assault occurred on someone else’s property — a bar, parking lot, shopping centre, or apartment building — the property owner or security provider may share liability for failing to provide a safe environment. Salehi Law investigates all responsible parties to maximize your compensation.
