Preguntas Frecuentes

What is the difference between a criminal case and a civil lawsuit for sexual assault?

A criminal case is prosecuted by the state and can result in jail time for the perpetrator. A civil lawsuit is separate — brought by the survivor — and seeks financial compensation for the harm suffered. You can pursue a civil claim regardless of whether a criminal case was filed or resulted in a conviction.

Who can be held liable in a civil sexual assault case?

In addition to the individual perpetrator, institutions such as schools, hotels, hospitals, employers, churches, and property owners may be liable if they knew or should have known about a risk and failed to take reasonable steps to prevent the assault.

Is my case confidential?

Yes. Attorney-client privilege protects all communications with our office from the moment you contact us. We handle these cases with the utmost discretion and sensitivity. You are in control of what information is shared and when.

What compensation can survivors recover?

Survivors may be entitled to compensation for medical and psychological treatment costs, lost wages and future earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and in some cases punitive damages intended to punish the defendant for egregious conduct.

What is the statute of limitations for sexual assault civil claims in Florida?

Florida's statute of limitations for civil sexual assault claims varies depending on the circumstances, including the age of the survivor at the time of the assault and whether an institution is involved. Some claims have extended or tolled deadlines. Contact us promptly so we can evaluate the timeline for your specific situation.
