New York Sexual Assault Lawyer - Frekhtman & Associates

Rape or assault victims require an experienced and knowledge attorney who is also sensitive to his client’s special needs. Often sexual assault cases involve negligent security. A broken lock which tenants complained about for months but management failed to repair can be the cause of an intruder. Some buildings have security guards who are supposed to patrol but many times it is just one person who is away from his desk or asleep. Closed circuit televisions and security cameras are rarely utilized in the most dangerous areas and often do not work properly for a variety of reasons.

Building owners and managers have a legal responsibility to provide a reasonably secure environment for people who live in or visit their premises. Schools have the same responsibility for their teachers and students.

In other cases, sexual assaults may occur by trusted individuals in positions of authority such as nurses, doctors, home attendants, staff at nursing homes or Special Education facilities, teachers, religious figures such as priests, and or employers.
