Legal Question in Personal Injury in Massachusetts

Yes, you may be able to sue the employer of your attacker; we'd need to learn more about the situation.

Please feel free to get in touch for a free consultation.

You could definitely sue the company, but whether it would ultimately be held responsible, and if so what assets might be available to collect, would require a fair amount of investigation, lawyering, litigation, discovery, etc. I assume you are in no position to file suit yourself, so you might as well find a lawyer who is experienced in these sorts of cases. Whether the lawyer decides to take your case will depend on many factors. Good luck. Regards, JBS

These types of cases are generally concern negligent hiring, training and supervision. If the employer knew or should have known that sending the employee to your home alone might result in harm to you, then the employer may be liable. If the employee had a prior criminal record, particularly for sex offenses or violent behavior, that the employer knew about or should have known about, that might be sufficient to put the employer on notice. I have handled many cases involving sexual assault and battery by employees on customers or other employees.
