The Legal Process for Filing a Lawsuit Against an Institution for Sexual Assault
Our firm focuses on civil sexual assault cases involving institutional negligence, where abuse could have been prevented but was ignored or covered up. Here is the process for pursuing legal action against an instituion:
- Consult an Experienced Attorney: Our experience can help you traverse the obstacles people often encounter during the claims process so you and your family can get the compensation they deserve.
- Investigation and Evidence Collection: We will conduct a thorough investigation, collecting medical records, incident reports, witness statements, and other pertinent documents to establish the institution’s liability. This step is crucial for building a strong case.
- Filing the Lawsuit: Once sufficient evidence is gathered, your attorney will file a lawsuit in the appropriate Texas court. The lawsuit must be filed within the state’s statute of limitations.
- Discovery Process: Both parties exchange information through depositions, interrogatories, and document requests. This phase allows each side to assess the other’s evidence and arguments.
- Settlement Negotiations or Trial: Many cases are resolved through settlements before reaching trial. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, the case proceeds to trial, where a judge or jury will determine the outcome.
Throughout this process, our team will advocate on your behalf, aiming to secure compensation for damages.
