Approximately 20,000 cases of sexual assault are reported annually in the Lone Star State. While it is a crime, the criminal proceedings do not compensate the victim for their pain, suffering, and ongoing trauma. That is where a civil lawsuit filed against the perpetrator and other responsible parties comes in. It is worth noting that the victim does not have to use their own name when filing a civil sexual assault lawsuit. They may use a pseudonym, so their identity is kept private.
At Crowe Arnold & Majors, LLP, we know how difficult it is to recount the trauma of sexual assault, and our attorneys have a caring and sensitive approach to legal representation. We will discuss all of your options and also let you know where you might find clinical help to receive necessary care.
A Richardson sexual assault victim lawyer not only protects your rights, but we will also investigate if other entities, such as a business or organization, facilitated this abuse. Such facilitators may prove liable if they covered up or otherwise enabled the behavior.
