Our Sexual Assault Lawyers in Toronto Advocate for Survivors of All Forms of Abuse

Sexual assault can come in all forms, including but not limited to:

  • Adult Sexual Assault
  • Child Sexual Assault
  • Institutional Sexual Assault:
    • School system
    • Military
    • Hospitals
    • Organized Sports
    • Religious Settings
    • Correctional Facilities
    • And more
  • Abuse of a Position of Trust
  • Fraudulently Obtained Consent

Sexual assault, unfortunately, is prevalent, as are the devastating consequences of surviving such an experience. As noted by the Supreme Court of Canada:

"We live in a time where myths, stereotypes, and sexual violence against women... are tragically common. Our society has yet to come to grips with just how deep-rooted these issues truly are and just how devastating their consequences can be. Without a doubt, eliminating myths, stereotypes and sexual violence against women is one of the more pressing challenges we face as a society." (R v. Barton, 2019 SCDC 33 at para 1)

Importantly, sexual assault, although predominantly perpetrated against women and girls, is experienced by all. It does not discriminate in the sense that men, boys, and the LGBTQ community are also impacted by such nefarious conduct. Regardless of the identity of the survivor, what is common are the devastating and long lasting psychological, physical, and often financial impacts of being subjected to this type of abuse.

Pursuing a Civil Lawsuit for Sexual Assault

The healing process for survivors often includes exploring their legal options with experienced sexual assault lawyers in Toronto, which may lead to a civil lawsuit. In a civil lawsuit, a survivor will seek monetary damages for the injuries sustained as a result of the abuse. While financial compensation will not be able to undo the harm that has been inflicted, it can serve as a significant step in the journey towards rehabilitation and taking back control.

Importantly, this process is entirely separate from that of the criminal justice system where the purpose is to lay criminal charges and hold the abuser criminally accountable. While a survivor may wish to pursue both criminal charges and a civil lawsuit, it is important to note that the burden of proof in a civil case is lower than that required in a criminal trial, meaning a survivor may still have a viable lawsuit even when the abuser has been found not guilty of criminal liability.

We're Here For Your Financial + Legal Recovery

 

When people are injured, most often they are unable to work and during these times, cash flow can become an enormous burden on the victim and their families. We recognize that our clients are suffering and are under enormous financial stress.

That is why we use the contingency fee arrangement. Under this arrangement, the client is not required to pay any fees or expenses unless the case is successful. If the client does not recover any monies from the lawsuit, there will be no legal fees.
