Hollywood Sexual Assault

Sexual assault is a devastating experience, and one that leaves emotional scars, considerable medical bills, and a great deal of trauma in its wake. Unfortunately, many perpetrators of sexual assault and rape never fully have to face the consequences of their actions while victims may face the consequences for years to come.

If you have been the victim of sexual assault, there are legal options available to you. If your attacker is found, you may wish to pursue criminal charges in order to hold the offender criminally accountable for their actions. However, you may also want to launch a legal claim or personal injury claim in Hollywood in order to seek compensation and a fuller measure of justice. To find out all about your legal options, contact Flaxman Law Group today to arrange for a free accident consultation. Flaxman Law Group attorneys work with assault survivors and personal injury survivors from all walks of life and have handled many thousands of cases over the years. Put this expertise to work for you today.

Sexual Assault Leaves Scars For A Lifetime

Sexual assault can lead to devastating consequences for the survivor, including:

  • Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Depression and anxiety
  • Difficulty returning to work
  • Physical injuries, such as fractures, bruising, disfigurement, and more
  • Sexually-transmitted infection
  • Permanent injury
  • Upset that can lead to problems with relationships

Survivors often suffer for years or even a lifetime after a sexual assault. While the criminal justice system makes it a crime to commit sexual assault, the consequences for rapists and assaulters is often not adequate. Survivors often feel victimized by the justice system again when they try to pursue justice in their case and in many cases rapists and assaulters get minimum jail time or inadequate jail time. In some cases, the perpetrators are never caught.

What Can be Done?

In addition to the upset of suffering and surviving a sexual assault, survivors often face considerable financial issues after their assault. There may be many injuries, including head injuries and soft tissue injuries, that they sustained in the attack and which require expensive medical care. Survivors may be unable to return to work right away because of their injuries and may face income loss as a result. Survivors may also need to pay for counseling or other forms of therapy in order to deal with the emotional aftermath of a rape or sexual assault.

Pursuing a legal claim is just one option for seeking compensation in these cases. Flaxman Law Group is part of the Hollywood community and attorneys at the full-service law firm have worked with many sexual assault survivors in helping them find justice and compensation in their cases.
