Sexual assault is one of the most traumatic experiences a person can endure, leaving survivors with both physical injuries and deep emotional scars that may take a lifetime to heal. At LA Injury Lawyers, we understand the gravity of such experiences and the courage it takes to come forward and seek justice. Our mission is to provide compassionate, skilled, and client-focused representation for survivors of sexual assault who wish to hold perpetrators—and any negligent third parties—accountable for the harm caused. In this comprehensive overview, we’ll explore the nature of sexual assault injuries, the legal mechanisms available to survivors, the role of civil lawsuits in seeking compensation, and how our firm can guide you throughout the entire legal process.
Sexual assault encompasses any non-consensual sexual act. It can involve physical force, coercion, or a situation in which a person cannot legally consent—such as when someone is intoxicated, underage, or unconscious. The injuries resulting from sexual assault can be both visible and invisible, impacting every aspect of a survivor’s life.
Because sexual assault injuries affect multiple facets of a survivor’s life, it’s crucial to have legal representation that understands these complexities. LA Injury Lawyers can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you pursue the compensation you need for all relevant physical, emotional, and financial injuries.
When discussing legal action in cases of sexual assault, one of the key distinctions to understand is the difference between criminal and civil cases:
Filing a civil lawsuit can provide a sense of agency and closure for survivors who want a more direct role in seeking justice. Even if a criminal case is not filed or does not result in a conviction, a civil lawsuit can still be pursued. LA Injury Lawyers handles these civil cases with sensitivity, aiming to obtain fair settlements or verdicts that acknowledge the trauma experienced by sexual assault survivors.

Sexual assault can occur in a wide range of circumstances. Survivors are often hesitant to share their experiences, but understanding the different ways sexual assault can happen helps underscore that any non-consensual sexual behavior is unacceptable. Here are some examples:
Every survivor’s experience is unique, and LA Injury Lawyers is equipped to handle these varied scenarios with the diligence and empathy necessary for adequate representation.
Survivors may also be able to hold third parties responsible for their injuries in certain situations. If a property owner, employer, or organization fails to take reasonable steps to ensure safety or neglects to respond to warning signs, they may be liable for damages. Some examples include:
By exploring all avenues of liability, LA Injury Lawyers can help survivors maximize the compensation needed to address medical bills, therapy costs, lost wages, and other damages resulting from sexual assault.
Sexual assault is intensely personal, and many survivors grapple with long-term psychological consequences. Common emotional responses and challenges include:
At LA Injury Lawyers, we recognize that seeking justice is not just about compensation but also a key part of the healing process. We offer compassionate counsel, connect survivors with relevant resources, and work to lessen the emotional burden that often accompanies legal proceedings.
In a civil lawsuit for sexual assault injuries, evidence is paramount. Although the burden of proof is lower than in a criminal trial, survivors still need to present a compelling case. Key forms of evidence may include:
LA Injury Lawyers works closely with survivors to gather and preserve the necessary evidence. We tailor our approach to each case, understanding that sexual assault survivors often face significant emotional hurdles when discussing their experiences.

Damages in a sexual assault civil lawsuit are meant to compensate survivors for both the tangible and intangible losses they’ve experienced. These damages generally fall into two categories:
Our team at LA Injury Lawyers meticulously calculates these potential damages so you receive fair compensation that reflects the full scope of your injuries.
Sexual assault survivors must be aware of any statutory deadlines for filing a civil lawsuit. Each state has its statute of limitations, which can vary significantly, mainly if the survivor was a minor at the time of the assault. Some states have also enacted “look-back windows” that temporarily lift or extend time limits for filing claims related to sexual abuse.
Beyond time restrictions, other legal challenges might arise, such as:

Pursuing compensation through a civil lawsuit can’t undo the horror of sexual assault, but it can be an essential component of a survivor’s healing journey.

The statute of limitations varies by state and depends on several factors, such as your age at the time of the assault and specific state laws. Some states also have “look-back windows” that extend the time limit for filing claims. It’s essential to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to understand the applicable deadlines in your case.
Yes, a civil lawsuit operates independently of a criminal case. Even if the perpetrator is not charged or convicted in criminal court, you can still seek compensation through a civil claim. The burden of proof is lower in civil cases, making it possible to hold the perpetrator or negligent third parties accountable.
The timeline depends on factors such as the complexity of the case, the severity of the injuries, and whether a settlement is reached or the case goes to trial. Most straightforward cases are resolved within six months to a year, but more complex claims involving significant disputes or litigation may take longer. Working with an experienced attorney ensures your case proceeds efficiently while prioritizing your best interests.
Key evidence may include medical records, police reports, witness statements, expert testimony, and documentation such as text messages or emails. At LA Injury Lawyers, we assist survivors in gathering and preserving all relevant evidence while minimizing the emotional burden of the process.
