Potential defendants
There are limits on who might face criminal penalties following a sexual assault. In many cases, individuals and institutions that could have prevented the assault or even encouraged it– will never face prosecution. These same entities are not immune to civil lawsuits, however.
You have the right to bring a claim for monetary compensation against anyone involved in your assault. If you were in the care of an organization or an institution at the time of the attack– especially if you were a minor– you could have a viable claim against them. Some common examples include hospitals, schools, or organizations like the Boy Scouts.
In some instances, you might be unaware of the extent that some individuals and entities share liability. An experienced Dallas sexual assault victim lawyer can work to identify all the responsible parties and hold each of them accountable.
