Damages Our San Jose Sexual Assault Lawyer Can Recover for You
Sexual assault involves any form of physical contact with another individual’s personal areas without their consent. In California, Pen Code 243.4 makes any such action for sexual gratification or arousal illegal. Additional state laws make the following forms of sexual assault or abuse illegal:
- Child pornography
- Child prostitution
- Child sexual assault
- Internet sex crimes
- Rape or sodomy
- Statutory rape
Sadly, both minors and adults can be victimized by sexual assault. Our legal team helps victims of all ages hold perpetrators financially accountable for their actions.
Medical Care
Sexual assault can result in physical trauma that requires emergency and ongoing medical care. The current and future costs of all treatment related to your physical recovery will be included in your compensation request.
Pain and Suffering
The aftermath of sexual assault can include physical and emotional pain and suffering. It can include the following:
- Depression or anxiety
- Difficulty sleeping
- Disturbing memories
- Substance abuse
Our legal team will consult your physical and mental health care providers. Our goal is to understand the scope and costs of your ongoing treatment protocol.
Emotional Care and Support
Sexual assault can have a profound and long-lasting effect on your mental and emotional health. The compensation we request for you will include the costs of treatment for PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). It can also include compensation for other forms of psychological health care.
California’s Statute of Limitations on Sexual Assault Cases
In 2020, Assembly Bill 218 went into effect in the state. This new law allows San Jose residents who survived sexual assault longer periods of time to file a civil lawsuit against the perpetrator.
Accordingly, if you are a survivor of child sexual assault:
- You generally have up to 22 years after reaching the age of 18 to file your lawsuit or until you reach the age of 40.
If you are an adult survivor of sexual assault, you generally have up to ten years to file your lawsuit. This provision applies to survivors who were previously prevented from filing their lawsuit because of an expired filing deadline.
