What does Our Sexual Assault Attorney in Tacoma, WA, Need to Prove?

There are several legal options for sexual assault survivors in Washington State to get justice. Many people first think of the criminal justice system. However, our attorneys use the civil court system to help our clients recover compensation and hold the involved parties legally accountable.

Under WAC 478-121-150, Washington law makes it illegal to force any unwanted sexual contact on another. When this occurs, it is sexual assault. This could include almost any type of sexual touching that:

Is forced without the other party’s consent
Occurs with forced consent through the use of threats
Involves a minor or someone who is cognitively impaired
Involves someone who is incapacitated or otherwise cannot give consent

To get a criminal conviction, the prosecution must prove that the perpetrator committed sexual assault. This can be very difficult, especially if there is little physical evidence or the attack occurred in the past.

In a civil case, we must show that the liable party—or parties, in many cases—caused harm to our client through their actions. This is very different from proving they sexually assaulted them. The burden of proof is different, making it possible to hold both the perpetrator and an organization or institution that allowed the abuse to occur accountable.

Client Testimonials

These guys are amazing. Helped me throughout the process. Always there when I need help. Inititailly called a law firm (the one that has lots of ads on the radio), but they declined my case. Van Law Firm accepted my case without a second thought! Kudos to Daniel, my case manager, and Amanda who expedited my payment process. Highly recommended.

Milby Mags

Got in an accident at the beginning of the year and they have been awesome, especially with it being my first accident and me being like this. They have been very communicated, stayed in contact with me the whole time, giving me updates when there were any and even when there weren’t and answered any question I had. I would recommend them to anyone. Everyone I have talked to there has been very friendly. I would give them a 10 out of 10.

Ethan Gullet

They made sure that my insurance company covered what I paid for them to which included the gap for my car that was totaled. My medical costs were taken care of and reduced substantially so I was able to get more on my settlement. My case manager, Will Garcia, was always helpful in assisting me and answering any questions I had. They really did an amazing job with my case. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of this type of legal help. Most lawyers do not help you with the recovery of the car and rental etc. They are amazing.
