00:04
we’ve had a lot of cases where people
00:06
have been assaulted
00:07
uh one that particularly stands out to
00:10
me
00:10
which was a really important case in my
00:12
opinion involved
00:14
a a an individual who we represented who
00:17
was sexually assaulted in a restroom
00:20
at a nightclub and some of the
00:22
challenging things about that particular
00:24
case was
00:25
the perpetrator who assaulted our client
00:28
fled the country
00:30
there were no witnesses to the attack
00:33
and there were no camera footage of the
00:35
actual incident itself
00:38
and so we had to develop a kind of a
00:40
novel legal theory which we used at
00:43
trial successfully
00:44
the defense appealed the case and at the
00:47
court of appeal
00:49
we were successful in prevailing also
00:51
and as a result
00:52
of our novel legal theory new case law
00:56
was created
00:56
through the court of appeal which makes
00:59
it easier for
01:00
individuals who have been attacked at a
01:03
business
01:04
in the state of california to recover
01:06
for their injuries
