Q: How do I go about sue my neighbor for endangering my son
My son was attacked on the stairwell of my babysitter home
A: So sorry to hear what happened to your son. I'm assuming your son was attacked by someone other than the babysitter. If that's the case, you'd need to demonstrate that the attack was foreseeable and could have been prevented with reasonable security measures. A sudden, unforeseen occurrence which could not have been prevented will not give rise to any legal liability. Best to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney. You can find many excellent attorneys using the Find a Lawyer tab on the JUSTIA homepage.
