Victim Advocate for Sexual Attack / Rape & Sexual Assault Victims

A 2018 study showed that 81% of women and 43% of men reported experiencing some form of sexual harassment and/or assault in their lifetime. If you’re one of those people, you may be entitled to financial compensation if the attack happened on somebody else’s property. It’s important you know your rights when it comes to the compensation you are entitled to as a crime victim survivor.

At Victim Advocate, we want you to know your rights and get justice for your injuries, so we’re providing this information to help you learn whether you may be able to get compensation for the horror you experienced.

Have questions about your rights? Schedule a free consultation with the victim advocate experts at Victim Advocate today.

Security Negligence And Sexual Assault

Property owners owe a duty of care to people residing at or visiting their property, meaning they must take reasonable measures to protect them. If the property owner provided negligent security that led to your assault, they may owe you financial compensation. No one should suffer financial burdens from someone else’s mistakes.

Who Is Responsible? The Property Owner or the Assaulter?

Obviously, the person who assaulted you is directly responsible for your assault. However, they may not be the only one. Property owners must take reasonable care to keep people safe on their property, and if they fail to do so, they should be held responsible for the consequences.

Were you assaulted in a poorly lit area? Was your attacker able to access you thanks to a door with a broken lock? Did your gated community fail to close the gates at night? These are all examples of negligent security.

Proving Negligent Security Played a Role in Your Sexual Assault Claim

To prove negligent security led to your sexual assault, you must be able to show:

The property owner owed you a duty of care
They breached this duty of care
The breach of duty led to your sexual assault
You suffered damages as a result

The negligent security victim advocates at Victim Advocate can give you a better idea of whether you have a case. Schedule a free consultation today.

When to Hire a Victim Advocate in Negligent Security Case

The statute of limitations in Florida for personal injury cases, including negligent security, is 4 years from the date of the attack. However, we recommend you talk to a professional crime victim advocate sooner than later. Evidence has a tendency to “disappear” over time, so the sooner you talk to Victim Advocate, the better. Our advocates have years of experience fighting for crime victims’ compensation.

What Damages Are Available to Sexual Assault Victims in a Negligent Security Case?

Sexual assault victims in negligent security cases may be eligible for many different types of damages, such as:

Medical bills, including future medical expenses related to injuries you sustained in your attack
Future lost earnings if you’re left with a permanent or long-term disability or impairment
Lost wages for the time you took off work to recover
Disfigurement
Emotional distress
Pain and suffering
Lost enjoyment of life
Mental anguish

While money can’t undo the physical and emotional damage caused by your sexual assault, it can relieve some of the financial burdens you are now dealing with. Schedule a free consultation with Victim Advocate to discuss your case.

Why It’s Important to Work with an Experienced Crime Victim Advocate

Property owners will deny any responsibility for your sexual assault, so you need an experienced negligent security victim advocate to prove they owed you a duty of care and to get you the most compensation possible. On average, people who hire personal injury advocate get more than 3 times as much money as those who don’t, so schedule a free consultation now.
