I was assaulted by another woman in December of 2010. She jumped me from behind and we rolled down a set of stairs. She then hit me in the head several times and kicked me in the face. I suffered many bruises on my body, lumps on my head, bruises on my face, and a broken nose, which is now disfigured and I cannot breathe properly. I immediately went to the ER and my nose was broken in two places. Criminal charges were filed and she plead guilty this week to assault. I am planning on filing a civil suit. As a result of the assault I was not able to sleep well because I couldn't breathe at night (and still can't). I started being late for work due to oversleeping, missing my shifts, and was fired in mid-February. On top of that, I found out in January that I was pregnant and had been pregnant at the time of the assault. I was worried about the trauma my body had been through and decided to have an abortion. If the assault hadn't happened I would have kept the baby. Can I sue her for losing my job and also my baby? Also, can I also sue her landlord for being hurt on her property? This has ruined my life for the past six months and emotionally scarred me. I plan on speaking with a personal injury lawyer soon but would like some answers now.
