Assault Victim Attorney Portland

Protecting Your Rights and Your Future

You don’t have to face the aftermath of assault alone

A violent assault can leave you with more than just physical injuries — it can cause emotional trauma, lost wages, and a sense of vulnerability that’s hard to shake. Whether you were attacked in a public space, at work, in a bar, or by someone you know, you deserve justice. Our Portland assault victim attorneys help assault victims hold their attackers — and any responsible third parties — legally and financially accountable.

We represent people who have suffered injuries from incidents such as:

Physical attacks in public places or businesses
Assault by security guards or employees
Domestic violence and intimate partner violence
Bar or nightclub fights
Workplace or school assaults

Talk to us to learn if you have a case. We’ll answer your questions with compassion and clarity, and you won’t pay us unless we recover compensation for you.

Injuries from Physical Assault

Assault injuries often include broken bones, concussions, facial trauma, and internal damage.

Assault in Businesses or Public Spaces

Property owners and businesses have a legal duty to provide a safe environment. If they failed to provide adequate security or ignored warning signs, they may be partially liable for the harm you suffered.

Domestic or Intimate Partner Violence

If you’ve been assaulted by a spouse, partner, or family member, you may have both civil and criminal legal options. We can help you navigate this difficult time with sensitivity and strength.

Assault by Authority Figures or Security Personnel

When those in power use excessive force, the consequences can be devastating. We represent clients injured by police misconduct, security guards, or others in positions of authority.

The Right Assault Victim Attorney Makes All the Difference

After an assault, you may feel overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure about what to do next. We understand — and we’re here to help. Filing a civil lawsuit won’t undo what happened, but it can help you regain a sense of control and secure the resources you need to heal and move forward.

At Pickett Dummigan Weingart, we’ve spent decades standing up for people who’ve been hurt by others’ actions. Our Portland-based legal team works with investigators, trauma-informed experts, and medical professionals to build strong, strategic cases. We’re committed to holding perpetrators and negligent third parties accountable.

Quick Answers from Our Attorneys

Q: Can I sue someone for assault even if they weren’t criminally convicted?

“Yes. A civil case is separate from a criminal one. You can pursue compensation even if the attacker wasn’t charged or found guilty in criminal court. The legal standards are different, and we can explain how that applies to your case.”
— J. Randolph Pickett

Q: What kind of compensation can I recover?

“Victims of assault may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, therapy, lost income, pain and suffering, and more. We’ll work to understand how the incident has affected your life and fight for full and fair compensation.”
— Kimberly O. Weingart

Mr. Dummigan and his staff are very professional and caring. They took a case that no one else would…and put their energy and resources into the case to see it come to a successful close.
