We Provide Compassionate, Empathetic Legal Support
A sexual assault is a traumatic experience that could require extensive physical and emotional recovery. You should be able to focus on your recovery without adding the stress of a claim for damages or a lawsuit to your current situation.
Our team will handle your case with compassion, patience, kindness and understanding. On your behalf, we will:
- Obtain medical and police records
- Document and assign a value to your medical care, income losses, and pain and suffering
- Negotiate with the offending party and their representatives
Any forced or coerced sexual contact could mean you are entitled to compensation from the assailant. If you or a family member was the victim of sexual assault, we will build a strong case for monetary recovery.
We Will Obtain Vital Records to Support Your Case
The evidence file our team builds for you will drive our fight for compensation. We do the work of compiling evidence for you during a thorough investigation. We collect:
- Medical records that document the severity and extent of your physical injuries and the anticipated timeline of your recovery
- A police report documenting the date, time, and location of the assault that was made against you,, along with the assailant’s physical description and contact details, if available
- Counseling and other mental health records to prove the long-term mental and emotional aspect of the assault
We also collect all relevant and available photos and videos. Photos may document the area where the attack took place. Using this evidence, we may be able to assign liability to a negligent property owner or landlord who did not provide you with adequate security.
