Rape Victim Attorneys
in Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Nassau County, and Suffolk County
We represented a Brooklyn woman who was raped in her apartment because the landlord failed to fix the locks on the windows to her bedroom, which were located directly on the fire escape.
Our New York attorneys have represented women and children in lawsuits against building owners and managers when a child or a woman has been subjected to rape or otherwise sexually assaulted at a unsafe building or property.
We have successfully recovered millions of dollars against building owners and managing agents because of their failure to provide a reasonably safe environment, or where a defect in safety or security has permitted an outside person to come into the premises and commit a crime.
We have represented many women who have been raped and assaulted in their own apartment when the criminal has obtained access into the apartment through the fire escape. We have also represented women who have been subjected to rape and sexual assault because the landlord failed to have good working locks or intercom systems at the building's entrance.
These cases all resulted in the recovery of hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation for the trauma and post-stress disorders that the innocent rape victims are unfortunately left with.
We have also recovered hundreds of thousands of dollars on behalf of women who were sexually assaulted or raped in hotels, including a high-end hotel located near Kennedy Airport and a famous Casino and Resort in Atlantic City.
A terribly sad case involved children who were sexually abused at a day care center in a Bronx church. The children were supposed to be under continuous supervision, but an employee of the Church, who had no association with the day care center, was permitted access to the children during naptime, bathroom time, and at other times. The failure of the daycare workers allowed this employee to commit sexual assault on very young children. Our firm was successful in obtaining a $3,000,000.00 award for damages.
Money of course cannot take away the horrors of sexual assault, but it can help to compensate for the effects of the trauma and can help ensure that the area will be kept safe in the future.
If you or someone you know is a rape victim or suffered due to other negligent or unsafe building and security conditions, please call or e-mail us today. Our experienced attorneys will meet with you for a free initial consultation and help you receive the compensation you deserve.
