Often, a civil suit will represent your best chance of obtaining a measure of justice, and perhaps some semblance of closure or peace of mind. These claims can target not only your abuser but any individuals or institutions that facilitated your abuse.

We Will Fight for You
When you consult with us for the first time, we will review your case and advise you of the compensation that could be available. No two claims are alike, which means the damages you might be entitled to could differ from someone else. Some common forms of compensation could include:
- Medical bills. The cost of medical treatment is a common form of damages in these cases. This can include anything from emergency room bills to the cost of counseling or therapy.
- Lost wages. Many victims are unable to return to their job, especially in cases where the attack involved a co-worker. The lost wages that follow an attack could result in financial compensation.
- Emotional distress. The emotional anguish that comes from sexual assault cannot be quantified, but it can result in damages in a civil claim.
- Pain and suffering. Another subjective form of compensation involves physical pain and suffering from the assault. Often, these damages are a significant part of a claim.
