Home » Sexual Abuse » California Sexual Abuse Lawyer
Sexual abuse and sexual assault, unfortunately, are more common than many think, and it can happen to anyone, anywhere, in California.
Commonly, abusers are known to the victim. Many abusers use safe spaces like churches, schools, workspaces, and homes as the location to commit their heinous acts.
Survivors of sexual abuse experience trauma that may require years of therapy, may have had physical ramifications, and may have affected their sense of safety and well-being.
A civil case could obtain financial compensation to help with hospital bills, security systems for homes, and counseling to help you move forward.
TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers are experienced in sexual abuse cases. While financial compensation can in no way take away the trauma, it may help survivors care for themselves after unwanted sexual encounters. Call our compassionate California sexual abuse lawyers for help today.
It costs absolutely nothing to see if you have a case
Intent matters. Accidents happen in crowded spaces. Someone may bump into you and a hand accidentally grazes a breast or your backside. Intent determines the difference between accidental touch and intentional groping or sexual assault.
According to the California Department of Justice:
According to the California Department of Public Health:
If someone sexually assaulted or abused you, file a police report and seek medical attention. Inform the proper channels and get the care you need. Keep all documentation for your sexual abuse case.
Many survivors of sexual abuse or molestation do not go to the police because so many abusers avoid incarceration. Survivors of sexual abuse feel that the added trauma they will have to endure by pursing a criminal case is not worth the small possibility of putting their abuser behind bars. In fact, only an estimated 2.5 percent of perpetrators will face jail time for a sexual crime.
But if you do not have police or medical records documenting the incident, our experienced California sex abuse lawyers can still help you. They can evaluate your claim, gather evidence, and file a lawsuit to recover financial compensation to help with the damages caused by the assault or abuse.
Contact a California sexual abuse lawyer as soon as you feel comfortable to discuss your case.
Under CA Civ Pro Code § 340.16, adult victims of sexual abuse and assault can “file a case within 10 years” of the event, “or within three years since the discovery of any injury or illness resulting from the assault.”
Additionally, CA Civ Pro Code § 340.1 explains there is “no time limit for the commencement an action against any person committing an act of childhood sexual assault in order to recover damages suffered as a result of childhood sexual assault.”
