The Legal Process for Sexual Assault/Abuse Cases
At The Valley Law Group, we understand that many of our clients are unfamiliar with the legal process involved with sexual assault and abuse cases. That’s why it is so important that we provide education on this process and the legalities involved so that you might be better informed about the legal options available to you. Our goal is to provide you with the comfort and confidence that comes with knowing what to expect as your case proceeds.
Initial Reporting and Investigation
The legal process will begin when you make an initial report of the assault or abuse incident. You are encouraged to report the event to law enforcement authorities as soon as possible. Authorities will then begin an investigation into the crime that was committed, which may include interviewing you, any witnesses, and the perpetrator, as well as collecting and analyzing any evidence.
Medical Examination and Evidence Collection
During the investigation stage, you may also be asked to undergo a medical examination that will collect physical evidence of the assault or abuse and address any medical needs you might have. It is crucial that any evidence from the time of the abuse or assault, such as the clothing you were wearing, is handed over to the authorities and not washed or thrown away.
Consulting an Attorney
At this time, it is crucial to consult with an attorney. This legal professional will review the details of your case, assess any applicable evidence, and help you determine the best course of action to take in filing a claim against the perpetrator. It is essential that you choose a sexual assault and abuse attorney who will offer you both compassionate care and honest counsel to seek compensation for the damages caused by the abuse, harm, and trauma you have suffered.
Filing a Complaint
Your attorney will be your key resource as you file your civil liability complaint against the perpetrator. Our sexual assault and abuse attorneys have the resources and connections necessary to file these charges with the correct authorities and ensure that all documents are completed in ful and submitted on time. One mistake could cost you your chance at compensation, which is why securing a lawyer to help you is so important.
Trial
Your attorney can bring your civil liability claim to court, demonstrating the culpability of the perpetrator of your sexual abuse or assault before a judge and/or jury. Your attorney will also describe your damages and define the compensation necessary to help you recover from them. During this time, it is vital that you trust your attorney's judgment and the fact that they have your best interest in mind while working to ensure you receive a fair outcome for your case.
