Civil claims are separate from criminal prosecution. You decide whether to file, when to file, and how to proceed. Our role is to support and advocate for you at every stage, on your timeline.
Attorney-client privilege protects every detail you share with us. In many civil cases, survivors can proceed under a pseudonym to protect their identity throughout the process.
You do not need a police report or a criminal conviction to pursue a civil case. The standard of proof in civil court is lower, and many survivors find accountability through the civil system when criminal prosecution does not occur.
Speaking with us costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Call 866-GOT-PAIN or reach out online. Your initial consultation is completely confidential, and we will explain your options clearly.
California law provides survivors of sexual assault with powerful civil remedies. Senate Bill 1141 eliminated the statute of limitations for civil claims arising from sexual assault, meaning survivors can file at any time regardless of when the assault occurred. Beyond the perpetrator, civil claims can be brought against institutions that enabled the abuse: employers who ignored complaints, property owners who failed to provide adequate security, schools that concealed misconduct, and organizations that protected abusers. In Sacramento, our firm has helped survivors pursue claims against individuals, businesses, landlords, religious institutions, and educational organizations. Every case is handled with the utmost sensitivity and confidentiality.
Civil sexual assault claims can result in substantial compensation because the harm is so profound and far-reaching. California courts recognize the full spectrum of damages survivors endure.
PTSD treatment, trauma-focused therapy, EMDR, medication management, and long-term counseling. Many survivors require years of treatment to process the trauma and rebuild their sense of safety.
Survivors frequently experience lost wages, job loss, career interruption, and diminished earning capacity as a direct result of the assault and its psychological aftermath.
The emotional toll of sexual assault, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, trust issues, and disruption to personal relationships, constitutes a major component of compensation.
California courts may award punitive damages in sexual assault cases to punish the perpetrator and deter future misconduct. These damages can be substantial and are in addition to compensatory damages.
Sexual assault occurs in many settings and involves different legal theories of liability. Our attorneys handle every type of case with the sensitivity, discretion, and determination survivors deserve.
Assaults by coworkers, supervisors, clients, or vendors in Sacramento workplaces. Employers who fail to protect employees or who retaliate against those who report face significant civil liability.
Sexual assaults at Sacramento State, UC Davis, community colleges, and K-12 schools. Title IX violations and institutional negligence can form the basis for substantial civil claims against schools and districts.
Abuse by clergy, counselors, coaches, or staff at churches, youth organizations, and residential programs. Institutions that concealed abuse or shielded perpetrators face direct liability for their role.
Assaults by Uber, Lyft, or taxi drivers in Sacramento. Rideshare companies have a duty to screen drivers and respond to complaints. Failures in these duties support claims against the company itself.
Assaults in apartment complexes, hotels, parking garages, and public spaces where inadequate security, broken locks, poor lighting, or lack of surveillance contributed to the attack.
