Get to a safe location. Call 911 if you are in immediate danger or contact the Bay Area Women Against Rape (BAWAR) crisis line for confidential support.
If you can, avoid showering or changing clothes. A forensic exam at Highland Hospital or another SART facility preserves physical evidence for your case.
You can file a police report with OPD at any time. A criminal report is not required to pursue a civil claim, but it can strengthen your case.
A civil lawsuit is separate from criminal proceedings. Phoong Law helps survivors pursue financial compensation from perpetrators and negligent institutions.
Sexual assault survivors in Oakland have the right to pursue civil claims for damages independently of the criminal justice system. Civil cases allow survivors to hold perpetrators financially accountable and also pursue claims against institutions, employers, landlords, and organizations that failed to protect them.
California has strengthened survivor protections in recent years, including extended statutes of limitations and the elimination of certain immunities. Phoong Law provides trauma informed legal representation, working with survivors at their own pace and with the sensitivity these cases demand.
Civil claims for sexual assault can result in substantial compensation that reflects the profound and lasting impact of the trauma. Cases involving institutional negligence or multiple victims may carry additional value.
Costs of trauma therapy, PTSD treatment, psychiatric care, and long term mental health support for survivors.
Emergency medical treatment, forensic exams, medications, and ongoing physical care related to the assault.
Income lost during recovery, career disruption, and diminished earning capacity caused by trauma.
The emotional anguish, loss of trust, psychological harm, and lasting impact on your sense of safety and wellbeing.
Civil claims can be brought against individuals and institutions. We handle a range of sexual assault cases with care and discretion.
Assault by coworkers, supervisors, or clients where the employer failed to prevent or address the misconduct.
Assault in schools, universities, religious organizations, detention facilities, or medical settings where institutions failed in their duty of care.
Assault in rental properties where landlords failed to provide adequate security, lighting, or functioning locks.
Sexual assault by Uber or Lyft drivers, with claims against both the driver and the rideshare company.
Abuse by therapists, doctors, coaches, or other trusted professionals who violated their duty of care.
Claims against businesses, hotels, event venues, and other entities whose negligence enabled the assault to occur.
