Adult Sexual Assault

About Adult Sexual Assault

Adults who have been sexually assaulted have the right to seek accountability through the civil justice system, on their own terms and timeline. A civil claim is separate from the criminal process and centers on the survivor — it can pursue compensation for therapy and medical care, lost income, and the emotional harm caused, and it may reach a third party, such as an employer or property owner, whose negligence created the opportunity for the assault. California law gives survivors meaningful time to come forward, and the process can be handled discreetly. There is no pressure here: you can share only what feels right, and a California attorney can walk you through your options with respect.
