The law in Texas protects individuals from the intentionally harmful acts of others in two ways. First, criminal law operates to dissuade individuals from physically or emotionally harming others by incarcerating violent or predatory persons. Equally important, however, civil law allows a person to recover monetary damages for the same harms and to take steps to prevent similar incidents in the future. If you or a loved one has been assaulted or sexually assaulted, contact The Law Offices of John Henry, PC to discuss what options are available.

Important Considerations:

• Time is of the essence in an assault case. It is imperative that witness statements, photographs, and other evidence be captured before they become unavailable. It is especially important in an assault case to preserve evidence that demonstrates the harm caused by the incident. There is no substitute for a visual depiction which would otherwise disappear before your trial date. It is vital that all available evidence be gathered as quickly as possible. In addition, the short time frame in which assault claims can be brought is always a concern.
  
  
• Assault cases should be handled with utmost concern for the sensitivity of the situation. You will be well-served to have an attorney who appreciates the delicacy of the matter and who also can preserve your right to recover for the wrong which you or your loved one has experienced.
  
  
• Depending on the circumstances, the ability to get a temporary or permanent restraining or protective order might be as important to you as recovering monetary damages.
  
  
• Contact an attorney immediately. There is simply no substitute for an experienced practitioner who understands what is required to put together a winning case and has the financial resources to see a case through to completion.
