Sue for Domestic Violence
How Beck Law Center Can Help
If a significant other or ex‑partner causes physical injuries that require medical attention, we can bring a civil lawsuit seeking compensation for:
- Medical bills and treatment costs
- Pain and suffering
- Other proven out‑of‑pocket losses (e.g., therapy, transportation).
What to do now
Get medical care
- Your health comes first. Visit urgent care, your doctor, or the ER. As for copies of all records and discharge notes.
File a police report
- Report the incident as soon as you can. Even if time has passed, you can file a report with the police. Better late than never. Write down the report number.
Preserve evidence
- Take photos of injuries and damaged property.
- Save texts, DMs, emails, voicemails, and social media posts.
- Note dates, times, locations, and witnesses.
Contact us for a confidential case review
- We will evaluate your claim, explain your options, and outline next steps.
Key Considerations
- Emotional/verbal abuse alone: We generally do not take cases based solely on emotional or verbal abuse without physical injury. If physical abuse occurred, we will present accompanying emotional harm as part of your damages.
- Documentation required: We require either medical treatment records or a police report related to the incident to move forward. If you don’t have them yet, you can still seek medical care now and file a report.
What to Expect
- Case assessment: Liability, injuries, insurance, and ability to pay.
- Demand and negotiation: We seek a fair settlement from the responsible party or insurer.
- Litigation if needed: If negotiations fail, we file suit and prepare for trial.
- Resolution: Many cases settle; if not, we advocate for you in court.
Time limits apply. Each state has a statute of limitations for bringing a claim. Acting promptly helps preserve evidence and protect your rights.
Safety and support
If you are in immediate danger, call 911. For safety planning and confidential support, consider contacting a local domestic violence hotline or the National Domestic Violence Hotline (call, text, or chat online). These services can help with safety plans, shelter referrals, and resources alongside any legal action.
