SEXUAL ASSAULT

In the wake of the #MeToo movement, countless victims of sexual assault and abuse have come forward, feeling like they finally have a voice to share their story. Re-opening these old wounds can be extremely painful, but reporting sexual assault and abuse, even if it happened a long time ago, is often very healing. Doing so also helps to protect others from suffering the same kind of abuse, and it can even result in significant compensation.

Although money will never be able to undo the harm caused by sexual assault and abuse, it can sometimes give victims the space and time they need to heal.

CRIMINAL VS. CIVIL JUSTICE SYSTEMS

Sexual abuse and assault are criminal offences and perpetrators of these crimes should be punished to prevent them from harming others, as well as to serve as an example to society. However, their punishment is rarely enough for the victims. This is where the civil justice system comes into play.

At Roberts Law, our goal is to hold your abuser and their affiliated institution or corporation accountable to you. You may have suffered harm in the form of harassment, the assault/abuse itself, continued emotional pain and suffering, medical treatment and therapy, lost wages, and other associated damages. Your abuser’s time behind bars isn’t going to help you pay these costs; you deserve to be compensated for your suffering.

Whether the abuse occurred in the workplace, at church or school, or in another institutional or corporate setting, we can help. We can even help if the abuse occurred years ago, when you were a child.
