Demanding Justice Helping Victims of Sexual Assault

 Miami Sexual Assault Lawyers

Compassionate Representation for Sexual Assault Victims in Florida & Nationwide

Sexual assault cases are deeply traumatic and, sadly, the criminal justice system does not always provide for the victims. However, a civil claim may be able to offer an assault victim the closure, justice, and financial compensation they need. With 150+ years of collective experience, we have spent decades representing the victims throughout the country.

Sexual assault civil claims can provide a plaintiff with compensation for:

  • Psychological trauma
  • Emotional counseling
  • Medical treatment
  • Loss of employment or wages
  • Any damages resulting from the assault

Our Florida Law Firm's Experience with Sexual Assault Cases

In one of our proudest cases, we successfully obtained justice for a client who was raped at a motel in Key Biscayne. Though her attacker was never found, our investigation found that the sliding glass window into her room had a faulty lock. Even more concerning, the motel owners attempted to fix the lock after the fact to hide their liability. We were able to prove fault on our client's behalf successfully, and the motel eventually settled with us for a confidential sum.

What If My Attacker Was Found Not Guilty?

Even if your attacker was exonerated , a civil claim may still be possible. Criminal law is a different court system from the civil one, so even if a person is found innocent of sexual assault, they can still be found liable for the same incident in a civil trial. That's because the burden of proof is different. Defendants in criminal cases must be proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, which means the evidence must be as certain as possible for a person to be found guilty of the crime. Civil claims, however, are proven based on a "preponderance of evidence." That means the evidence must prove a person's guilt is more convincing or more likely than their innocence. It's a far easier standard to meet, giving victims the chance to obtain justice.

Who Commits Sexual Assault?

Frequently, sexual assault is characterized as something that is done by a stranger or by an employer. However, many people don’t realize that the most common form of sexual assault is between two people are in a relationship or who know each other. No matter who is responsible for your sexual assault, holding them accountable is possible with the help of an attorney.

What Do Sexual Assault Lawsuits Accomplish?

Sexual assault lawsuits accomplish a variety of things. First, they help survivors find the closure they deserve by holding their attacker accountable. Second, they help ensure the party who committed sexual assault isn’t able harm others. Finally, sexual assault lawsuits help pay for the costs of healthcare—both mental and physical—that survivors deserve to have access to.

Who Else Is Responsible for My Attack?

In cases where the attacker is unable to be found, other factors may allow you to seek justice. For instance, in the case above, we cited negligent security. We are thorough investigators, so if there is anyone at fault, we will discover it.

As a result, it may be possible for you to seek damages from:

  • Hotel or motel owners
  • Private security companies
  • Lock manufacturers
  • Universities or schools
  • Alarm system manufacturers
