Civil Litigation
Sexual Assault Civil Representation
We provide compassionate, confidential representation for survivors of sexual assault in civil cases. Our attorneys hold negligent parties accountable when they fail to provide adequate security or supervision, helping survivors obtain justice and financial recovery.
Understanding Civil Claims
Sexual assault civil cases are separate from criminal proceedings. While criminal cases focus on punishing the perpetrator, civil cases focus on holding negligent third parties accountable and obtaining compensation for survivors. Property owners, businesses, employers, and institutions have a legal duty to take reasonable steps to protect people from foreseeable harm—including sexual assault.
When these parties fail in their duty—whether through inadequate security, negligent hiring, failure to respond to complaints, or creating environments where assaults can occur—they can be held liable for the harm that results.
Types of Cases We Handle
Negligent Security Claims
When property owners fail to provide adequate security measures—such as proper lighting, security cameras, trained security personnel, or secure entry points—and an assault occurs as a result, they may be held liable. This includes assaults at apartments, hotels, parking garages, shopping centers, and entertainment venues.
Workplace Sexual Assault
Employers have a duty to maintain safe workplaces. When employers fail to properly screen employees, ignore complaints of harassment, or create environments where assault can occur, they may be held responsible. This includes assaults by coworkers, supervisors, or third parties on company property.
Institutional Abuse
Schools, religious organizations, youth programs, and care facilities have heightened duties to protect vulnerable populations. When institutions fail to properly supervise employees, ignore warning signs, or cover up abuse, survivors and their families may pursue civil claims.
Hotel and Hospitality Liability
Hotels, resorts, and hospitality businesses owe guests a high duty of care. When inadequate security, faulty locks, or negligent staff contribute to sexual assaults, these businesses can be held accountable for the harm caused to guests.
