Civil Sexual Assault Claims: Seeking Justice
Criminal prosecution can hold the perpetrator accountable. However, it is not always sufficient to address the full extent of the harm that survivors have endured. Civil suits complement criminal prosecution for redress and accountability.
In most sexual assault cases, another entity (school, business, or property owner) can be held liable. These entities failed to provide an adequate level of safety or prevent access to known predators. Civil actions can assist survivors in recovering damages.
Personal Injury Cases for Sexual Assault
Civil actions can assist survivors in recovering damages.
Our attorneys have extensive civil sexual assault experience and are dedicated to achieving meaningful results that promote healing and security for the long term.
- Medical Bills
- Costs of counseling and therapy
- Reduced earning potential or lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of Quality of Life
Negligent Security and Premises Liability: When Property Owners Are Liable
Sexual assaults are possible in almost any public or semi-public space, including apartment complexes and hotels. Florida premises liability laws may apply in many cases.
We hold negligent property owners responsible when insufficient safety measures directly lead to an attack. Examples of negligent security are:
- Poor lighting in parking garages, stairwells, or hallways
- Locks and entry systems that are broken or missing
- Insufficient security personnel and surveillance systems
- Inaction in response to criminal activity that has occurred on or near a property
- Allowing predators to continue accessing vulnerable populations
We build a strong argument that the property owner failed to meet their legal obligation to maintain a reasonable safe environment when these conditions are present and a sexual attack occurs.
Child Sexual Abuse and Vulnerable Adults
Sexual abuse of children and vulnerable adults can have devastating effects. Failing to screen and supervise staff in institutions increases the risks of sexual abuse from happening. Especially in places expected to be “safe” such as schools, hospitals, and nursing homes.
We help families with compassion, confidentiality and skill. You may be able to file a civil suit against a trusted organization if your child was sexually abused while in their care.
- Failure to conduct background checks
- Ignoring red flags or previous allegations of abuse
- Employees or volunteers not being properly supervised
- Unsupervised access for children and vulnerable residents
We are committed in protecting the survivors and their families and ensuring that negligent institutions are held responsible.
