Yea, you could have the right to sue. Based on the details surrounding the incident and the resulting harm, you could have the right to file a lawsuit. In general, the right to sue is based on the concept of negligence. That is, property owners (including the owners and operators of sober living facilities) have a duty to keep their residents safe. They must routinely inspect their premises to be able to identify and address any hazard that arises. If they fail to do so, then they can be liable for any harm that occurs on their premises.

What about harm that occurs because of the intentional actions of another person on the premises, like another resident or an employee? When it comes to the actions of an employee, the owner/operator (which would also be the employer) could be liable. This is because employers have the duty to background check their employees, ensure that that they have proper policies and procedures in place, and ensure that they respond properly to any reports by residents. Similarly, these policies and procedures are essential for taking action when any residents report harm at the hands of other residents at the facility.
