Answered on: 6/26/12, 2:12 pm by Edward HoffmanYes, though the appropriate cause of action would probably be assault. But can the defendant afford to pay a judgment? Most armed robbers don't have a lot of assets. A lawsuit probably isn't worth the time, expense and energy it will require unless your wife will be able to collect if she wins.
