When assaulted on someone's property can you sue the property owner?

Yes. But the success of the lawsuit depends on the circumstances and whether you can prove some sort of negligence or strict liability on the part of the property owner. You should seek the advice of an attorney or make a claim against the owner's insurance company for your expenses.

∙ 14y agoThe answer to your question depends on the details of the assault and the property owner's relationship with the assailant. There are so many possibilities they are too numerous to name here. However, if the property owner was responsible for the acts of the assailant such as being the employer and failing to supervise, or providing alcohol that resulted in the situation, there may be some liability. If the owner owed some duty of care to you, there may be some liability.
You need to discuss the situation with an attorney who specializes in personal injury law who could review the details with you and explain your options. That type of case is handled on a contingency basis and an attorney would not take that type of case unless there were damages and substantial enough evidence to support a lawsuit. Some of the first questions you will be asked are: Was the assault reported to the police?; Did you press criminal charges?; Are there hospital records that document the injuries?

Who do you sue if you were assaulted on a foreclosed property the foreclosed owner or bank who owns?
They aren't responsible, how about the person who told you to be there or the person who assaulted you. Maybe nobody. The bank is the legal owner of the property. The former owner has no rights to the property and therefore is not liable. But the first person you should sue is the person who assaulted you, unless they assaulted you in relation to trespassing on a foreclosed property, in which case, you have no case. Consult a Lawyer.
