Our Seattle Sexual Assault Attorney Can Pursue Recoverable Damages on Your Behalf

You can receive financial compensation from your attacker and other liable parties by filing a personal injury claim for the losses you suffered as a result of your traumatic experiences. Your sexual assault lawyer in Seattle can pursue financial justice and accountability for what happened to you.

Damages You May Recover in Seattle Sexual Assault Cases

When we file a sexual assault case on your behalf, we can pursue both economic and non-economic damages. Your economic damages repay you for your monetary losses, while non-economic damages compensate you for your physical and mental suffering.

Depending on the details of your case, you may pursue compensation for:

Pain and Suffering

- This kind of loss refers to the physical discomfort you endured because of the sexual assault.

Mental Anguish

- Victims of sexual assault often experience mental anguish for years after the attack.

Medical Costs

- These expenses can include the ambulance, emergency room or trauma center, laboratory tests, diagnostic procedures, doctor’s appointments, hospital stays, physical therapy, prescription drugs, and mental health services related to sexual assault.

Lost Income

- If you could not work for a while after the attack, you can seek compensation for the income you did not earn.

Reduced Earning Capacity

- Surviving a sexual assault might impact your ability to work in the future. If you cannot earn as much income as you did before the sexual assault, you have a financial loss that can be included in your civil claim.

Reduced Quality of Life

- People often experience a diminished quality of life after a sexual assault. They might develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), have nightmares, become isolated out of fear of interacting with people or going places, develop chronic depression or anxiety, or suffer another type of loss of enjoyment of life.

Our attorneys fight for justice for the survivors of sexual assault crimes in Seattle. We’ll bring your abuser to justice by filing a civil case for your physical and emotional harm.

Why the Criminal Case does Not Determine the Outcome of Your Civil Case for Compensation

It is a common misunderstanding that the defendant in a sexual assault criminal case must get convicted of the crime before the victim can go after financial compensation in civil court, but that is not accurate. In our legal system, you can pursue compensation for the damages you suffered regardless of whether the liable party is found guilty in a criminal case.

A criminal case’s outcome does not adversely impact a civil case for compensation. You do not have control over whether the prosecutor dismisses the charges, makes a plea bargain deal with the defendant, or loses the case. If the defendant gets convicted, however, that fact can help your civil case.

You Have a Limited Amount of Time to File a Lawsuit for Sexual Assault in Seattle

You do not want to wait too long to pursue a civil case against the defendant. The American Bar Association warns that a person can lose the right to seek monetary damages if they miss the filing deadline that applies to their case.

In Seattle, you generally have three years from the date of the assault to file a civil lawsuit. This is outlined in RCW § 4.16.340. Some exceptions may apply to this statute of limitations, and our legal team will make sure to go over all relevant statutes with you. We will ensure you’re aware of any laws that apply to your case.

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.
