Unique Experience
Joe Bell and Erik Hassing are skilled personal injury trial lawyers who bring additional strengths to assault litigation. Both are former criminal prosecutors with a keen understanding of what constitutes assault, battery and aggravated battery (serious bodily harm or use of a weapon). Erik's experience in insurance defense helps him find alternative coverage if your assailant does not have liability insurance or significant personal assets. Joe holds an advanced degree in employment law, an advantage if you are seeking to hold an employer responsible for your injuries and losses.
Intentional conduct (initiating an assault) is often specifically excluded in insurance policies. We think outside the box to find creative ways to hold building owners, security companies and other third parties liable. Even if you initiated a verbal confrontation, the party who got violent and inflicted injuries may be held to pay in most cases.
We aggressively pursue a fair settlement or personal injury lawsuit against the person and work every angle to collect for you. Contact Bell & Hassing today for a free initial consultation at 973-607-4694, including weekends by appointment. We have a Spanish-speaking paralegal on staff.
