    Default Suing Premises Owner Over An Assault

    Hello, My mother was attacked by a group of women on there property. The incident happened april of 2006 . My mother was walking down our same street and was in attacked by 3 ladies on . She was injured and was taken to a local hospital for treatment. After the attack the police were called to the address of the attack , The officer made no arrest and didn't follow a police report. The officer on duty was making a statement to me that my mother was on there property and beaten by its occupants. The granite city police department has failed to provide any information or do any further investigation on this case. We would like to try and sue the owners of the property where the attack took place or the police dept. Can we do this by law?

    Thankyou.

    Why was your mother on their property & why did they beat her? Are the owners of the property the same people living there who beat your mother?

    You need to find out their insurance company and file a claim. Go to a Realtor, they can find out who the owner is and what bank holds the mortgage. If the bank will not tell you who the insurance company is, you will need to write a letter to the owner asking for the insurance info.

    Is the sidewalk considered to be part of a person's property? How about the "parking strip" a piece of ground between the sidewalk and the curb?

    Hello again. The occupants still live at the address in question. My mother was walking on the sidewalk directly in front of there home to clear things up. When the physical attack happened it was on there property. Right now we are having a diffcult time finding a lawyer who practices in illinois and is willing to pursue the case. I would like to add during the attack my mother didn't throw any punches nor was she the instigater.Does anyone know how we may be able to find out (records)who actually called the police ?


    Thanks again.

    We are still trying to find out if the owner of the home is the attacker . I did a simple background check through a website and it stated who the lender was the date of loan and name of the owner. It's hard to verify because of limited resources. This is were the police should have done a report and taken names of all parties involved. We know one attacker still lives there because my mother verified her at the house.
