Addison Sexual Assault Attorney

Free consultation here

Sexual assault is an act of violence that leaves survivors with deep emotional scars as well as physical trauma. Often, these physical and psychological impacts make it difficult for sexual assault victims in Addison or elsewhere to move forward with their daily lives. While the criminal justice system focuses on punishing the wrongdoer and deterring future violent behaviors, the civil court system in Texas prioritizes compensating the victim for their losses.

If you’ve survived the pain and violation of sexual assault, reach out to Addison sexual assault lawyers who handle these cases with sensitivity, compassion, and assertive legal action to recover the compensation you deserve.

Why Choose the Sexual Assault Lawyers In Addison at GreeningLaw?

Texas law defines sexual assault as “any non-consensual sexual contact or penetration.” Few personal injury cases are as deeply personal as sexual assault. By selecting GreeningLaw, you’ll find the following advantages in your case:

  • A free, confidential consultation and contingency-based payment so you pay nothing until after we recover your compensation through a settlement or court award
  • A skilled investigation to pinpoint liability and strategize the best way to demand financial accountability for the lifelong consequences of the assault
  • A policy of honesty and open communication so you’re always informed and included in the process of your case

When you need a strong voice behind your compensation claim, the Addison personal injury lawyers at GreeningLaw are ready to put their years of experience, knowledge, and resources on your side.

Understanding Liability In Sexual Assault Cases In Texas

Texas laws take sexual assault cases very seriously, providing robust protections for injury victims, including in civil court. Your rights extend to holding wrongdoers directly liable for the physical, emotional, and economic harm they’ve caused you (your “damages”) through the following legal protections:

  • You have a right to demand accountability by holding the assailant liable for your damages
  • You may file a negligence claim against an institution such as a school, hospital, nursing home, hotel, or apartment building owner if they failed to provide sufficient security or reasonable precautions to prevent the attack
  • Punitive damages are available to sexual assault victims because of the egregious nature of the attack. This additional sum awarded to sexual assault victims serves as a punishment to the wrongdoer or those who failed to protect you

Also, under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.0045, the state extends the statute of limitations from two years for typical personal injury claims to five years for sexual assault with additional extensions for minors or for cases of delayed discovery.

What Damages Are Available to Sexual Assault Survivors In Addison?

When a person survives a physical and emotional violation, the attack has ripple effects throughout every aspect of their life. These consequences of sexual assault can interfere with the survivor’s ability to move forward, including impacting their career and relationships. A successful sexual assault liability claim results in compensation for damages such as the following:

  • Past and future medical expenses related to sexual assault injuries
  • Lost earnings
  • Counseling and therapy costs
  • Pain and suffering

You may also claim additional damages that might apply in your case, such as compensation for loss of enjoyment of life, scarring, or diminished earning capacity. Punitive damages are also available to sexual assault victims in Texas.
