Florida Sexual Assault Lawyer
Sexual assaults are devastatingly traumatic, both physically and emotionally. While the criminal justice system does not award damages to sexual assault victims, a personal injury lawsuit may be an option to seek the compensation you deserve, including for medical care and emotional. Tucker Law® is dedicated to fighting for the best possible financial recovery on behalf of sexual assault victims.
Property owners and business establishments have a duty to provide a safe environment for the public by providing adequate lighting, security systems, and well-maintained locks. When these property owners fail to maintain the safety standards, you can be at risk of attacks that could have otherwise been avoided. A sexual assault attorney can help you fight to take back control and give back the dignity stolen from you.
Perpetrator
Unlike in criminal cases that must be proven beyond all reasonable doubt, civil cases for sexual assault have a lower burden to win. However, it is not only the perpetrator of the sexual assault that may be responsible for your injuries, including medical treatment, lost wages, emotional therapy, and other damages. For intentional acts, you may also be entitled to punitive damages to punish the sexual perpetrator. Tucker Law® fights to wins.
Employer Liability
When a sexual assault occurs when an employee is on the clock for an employer, you may have a claim against the perpetrator’s employer. Businesses and schools may be responsible when they failed to perform background checks, train their employees, or retained an employee after they knew or should have known of signs of danger that employee presented. In addition, when businesses and schools stick their head in the sand and fail to investigate earlier alleges of sexual assault, they may be liable for your injuries.
Property Owner
Businesses are expected to be good neighbors as they make profits off the people in the surrounding community. When a business fails to provide adequate lighting or security measures, they may be liable for the damages in the sexual assault because lighting could have prevented the attack, as the perpetrator wouldn’t be able to hide and allow you to escape. In some cases, the business is aware of the danagers presented and failed to take any steps to keep you safe. Tucker Law® will fight for you against these businesses.

What to do When You’ve Been Sexually Assaulted
If you’ve been the victim of a sexual assault, call the police. If the sexual assault is fresh, ask the police for medical treatment. A hospital will conduct a sexual assault exam, which is not only medical treatment, but will also collect evidence that can be used later against the perpetrator. The hospital may refer you to a sexual assault counseling program to help with your emotional distress.
