Can You Sue After an Assault at a Restaurant?

In this LawCall Panama City episode, the attorneys at Perry & Young answer a parent’s question after their child was assaulted at a restaurant. They explain that while criminal charges may be filed against the attackers, families can also pursue a civil lawsuit to seek compensation for injuries and damages. Key steps include gathering evidence, witness statements, and video footage. Criminal prosecution and civil liability can go hand-in-hand, but the ability to recover depends on whether the attackers are “collectible.”
