Sexual Assault Can Affect Every Area of Your LifeAssault can affect nearly every area of your life. It can be deeply traumatizing experience and one that can make it difficult to return to work or to other daily activities. Survivors may face emotional upheaval, including depression, sleep disturbances, and other symptoms. They may need time away from work and may face expensive medical bills from any injuries sustained during the attack. This means that the assault can affect them financially. This is especially the case if the assault resulted in physical injury – which happens very often – and that injury requires medical treatment, medication, time away from work to heal, and rehabilitation.
Many survivors also need to visit counselors or therapists to deal with the emotional trauma of the event. An assault can affect a survivor financially, emotionally, physically, and more. It can result in physical injury, emotional trauma, additional medical expenses, and more.
While many survivors bravely recover from their attack, the healing process takes time and survivors deserve every form of support they can receive. One option that survivors have is to seek compensation through a legal claim. This helps to secure compensation for any services and treatment they need. It is also another way of holding those accountable responsible. Even if a survivor is not able to seek criminal charges against the assailant because the assailant is never caught or because the criminal justice system fails the survivor, a legal claim allows a survivor another form of seeking justice to hold those accountable responsible for the attack.
