Lawyers for Assault Charges
Physical assaults and abuse can happen anywhere. Some of the more common settings are:
- Hospitality and entertainment venues like bars, nightclubs and casinos
- Sporting clubs
- Schools and other places of education
- Prisons and other correction facilities, such as juvenile detention centres
- Workplaces
- While in medical care
- The Australian Defence Force
In every case, the business or organisation carries a duty of care to ensure that anyone coming onto its property is not harmed or injured. It is also required to hold public liability insurance, which will pay for any successful compensation claims.
In most cases, the duty of care covers the behaviour of both staff and members of the public who are patrons or visitors to the property. For example, if a business or organisation fails to provide adequate security or supervision, which contributes to an assault, it may be found negligent.
