Sexual Assault

Houston Sexual Assault Lawyer: Empowering Survivors with Justice

Sexual assault is a profoundly traumatic crime that occurs far too often in Houston, taking place in homes, workplaces, schools and universities, hotels, bars, public events, transportation, or other settings. Perpetrators may best rangers, acquaintances, or individuals in positions of power, and in many cases, negligent third parties such as employers who fail to conduct proper background checks, property owners with inadequate security, or institutions that ignore complaints contribute to the harm. Houston, as a large metropolitan area, sees thousands of reported assaults each year, with many survivors facing long term physical, emotional, and financial consequences.

‍

Texas law allows survivors to pursue civil claims for intentional torts like sexual assault, with no caps on compensatory damages for physical and emotional harm. Recoverable damages may include therapy and counseling costs, medical examinations and treatment, lost wages from time off work or reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress (including PTSD, anxiety, and depression), and punitive damages in cases of particularly egregious conduct. The statute of limitations is generally five years for sexual assault, with potential extensions for cases involving minors, delayed discovery of trauma, or other factors.
