When a crime is committed, you or a loved one may experience trauma and helplessness in addition to physical and emotional pain. Recognizing a potential claim is not always as easy as one might expect and may prevent you from being properly compensated for your traumatic experience.

If a crime involves inadequate security, sexual assault, false imprisonment, or assault and battery, the experienced attorneys at Soloff & Zervanos, P.C. want to help you get your deserved peace of mind and due justice.
Living with fear and the lasting consequences of violent crime makes you a victim twice. Our attorneys can get you the justice and compensation you deserve. Contact Soloff & Zervanos P.C. to learn more about filing a civil case against your attacker.
Civil compensation for violent crimes has become commonplace in courtrooms. If the perpetrator of the crime is identified, prosecution for the crime generally follows. Yet often times, a culprit is not held accountable in cases such as rape, robbery, or assault. Many have turned to civil court for compensation.
If it can be proven that inadequate security on the premises contributed to criminal activity, then that corporation could be held accountable for their negligence. For example, apartment complexes or property owners that fail to fix fences or provide adequate lighting for their residents could be held liable for criminal activity. If a company or residential corporation has had prior knowledge of violent crime in the area and has done nothing to protect residents such as adding well-trained security personnel or security cameras, then they could be held liable for further crimes on the premises. Providing security is a vital part of any business or living environment, and if that security is inadequate, then the corporation should be accountable for their negligence.
If you or a loved one has been the victim of a crime due to inadequate security, please contact Soloff & Zervanos P.C. today for a free comprehensive review of your case.
The statistics of sexual abuse and sexual violence are growing at an alarming rate. In spite of the higher profile of this problem, many victims still struggle with the fear and stigma of reporting such crimes. Any form of unwanted sexual advances could be considered sexual assault and may result in serious ongoing physical and emotional pain. This could also include clergy sexual abuse or some other professional relationship in which one person uses a position of power to take advantage of another person.

False imprisonment occurs when an individual or institution inhibits or prevents another's freedom of movement without his or her consent for any amount of time. False imprisonment often includes a physical element to prevent escape, as well as verbal threats of harm. Several key factors contribute to the claim of false imprisonment, including intentional confinement on the part of the perpetrator, non-consensual confinement on the part of the victim, and the victim's knowledge that he or she is imprisoned with no available means of escape. Following this crime, many victims have fear and anxiety due to their experience, and may continue to experience this pain throughout their lives.
If you or a loved one has been falsely imprisoned, contact Soloff & Zervanos, P.C. today, and we will evaluate your case for free.

Our team of civil attorneys will work with you to achieve financial recovery for you if you have suffered from a crime such as assault and battery.
Battery can be defined as the actual act of touching or harming another person. An attack may be considered only assault if the victim was only threatened, but not physically touched. When a person willfully inflicts bodily injury on another, he or she has committed assault and battery.
