FAQs
Our frequently asked questions provide clear answers to common concerns about sexual abuse, harassment, and survivors’ rights. This section is designed to help you understand your legal options, what steps to take, and how an attorney can support you through the process.
What is considered sexual abuse?
Sexual abuse refers to any unwanted sexual conduct, contact, or behavior that occurs without a person’s consent. This may include physical assault, coercion, harassment, or exploitation in the workplace, educational settings, or other environments. It encompasses actions ranging from verbal harassment to acts of physical violence.
How do I know if I have a legal claim?
You may have a legal claim if you experienced unwanted sexual contact, harassment, or abuse, particularly when it caused harm to your physical, emotional, or financial well-being. Even if no criminal charges are pursued, you may still have grounds for a civil lawsuit against the individual or an institution that failed to protect you. Speaking with an experienced attorney can help you understand your rights and options.
What should I do if I think I have been sexually abused or harassed?
It is important to prioritize your safety and well-being. If needed, seek medical attention and preserve any relevant evidence such as messages, emails, or witness accounts. Document what happened in detail, and consider contacting a trusted attorney as soon as possible to explore your legal rights. Reporting to law enforcement is an option, but it is not a prerequisite for pursuing a civil claim.
Do you have to go to court for a sexual abuse claim?
Not all sexual abuse claims go to court. Many cases are resolved through settlements or mediation without the need for a trial. However, if a fair resolution cannot be reached outside of court, your attorney may advise proceeding to trial to seek justice and compensation.
How to sue for emotional distress after being sexually assaulted
Survivors of sexual assault may pursue compensation for emotional distress through a civil lawsuit. This typically involves documenting the psychological and emotional harm experienced, often supported by medical or therapeutic records, and demonstrating how the assault caused lasting damage. An attorney can guide you through the process and advocate for the full extent of damages you are entitled to.
Can an employer or organization be held responsible for abuse?
Yes. Employers, schools, and other organizations may be legally responsible if abuse or harassment occurred under their supervision and they failed to take proper preventative or corrective measures. Institutions have a duty to provide a safe environment, and failure to uphold that duty may make them liable in a civil claim.
Will my case remain confidential?
Confidentiality is a priority in sexual abuse cases. While some aspects of legal proceedings may become public, your attorney will take every possible step to protect your identity and personal information. Survivors can also explore legal mechanisms such as protective orders and anonymity requests to further safeguard their privacy.
