    Overview Here’s everything you need to know.

    No one should have to endure the emotional trauma or physical pain caused by sexual assault or abuse. Tragically, these acts of violence can affect individuals of all ages — from children to seniors — and they impact people of any gender or ability. Sexual violence is not only a physical violation; it can also leave deep psychological scars. Survivors may face long-term mental health challenges, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, difficulty concentrating or learning, nightmares, and social withdrawal.

    In many cases, these crimes go unreported. Victims may remain silent out of fear, shame, confusion, or a lack of support. This leaves perpetrators free to harm others. It is vital that we create a culture of support and understanding, where survivors are believed, empowered, and given the resources they need to heal.

    We represent survivors of sexual assault and abuse by bringing civil claims against individuals, businesses, and organizations. Claims for sexual assault can stem from:

    • Businesses improperly hiring, supervising and retaining employees causing sexual assault in restaurants, gyms, massage parlors, schools, nursing homes, daycare facilities and workplaces.
    • Property owners and landlords providing inadequate or negligent security.
    • Negligent supervision of coaches and teachers.
    • Reporting sexual assault and pursuing a related claim can be intimidating. We are here to provide you with compassionate representation. Our goal is to educate you about your rights and to pursue your claim with integrity.

    You may have many questions and concerns about how to move forward after experiencing sexual assault — from how to report the incident, to understanding what types of compensation you may be entitled to, and whether third parties who allowed the abuse to happen can be held accountable. Our team is here to provide clear answers, support your rights, and guide you through the legal process of pursuing a civil claim. We have recovered millions of dollars for victims of sexual assault, but more importantly we have held wrongdoers accountable and achieved justice for victims.

    What is consent?

    Pursuant to Colorado law, there are certain instances in which a person cannot legally consent to sexual contact:

    • Statutory Rape – occurs when an adult is engaging in sexual activities with a minor- regardless of the minor’s perceived consent.
    • Position of Trust – a person in a position of trust (teachers, therapists, authority figures) cannot legally engage in lawful sexual contact with minors

    Sexual assault when the victim is of the age to consent

    • Sexual Assault (Rape): Sexual penetration achieved through force, intimidation or when the victim cannot consent due to incapacity, intoxication or they are unconscious
    • Sexual Contact: touching of a person’s intimate parts for personal gratification without the person’s consent.
    • Sexual Exploitation: Taking sexual advantage of someone for personal gratification- exposing oneself or coercing sexual acts

    Did you consent?

    If you are unsure if you had the legal capacity to consent to sexual contact, you should consult with an attorney.

    More Questions?

    Consultation

    Each case begins with a free, no-obligation consultation with an experienced personal injury attorney. We will answer your questions. We will learn how you or a loved one was harmed. We will explain what you can expect from us, what needs to be done to obtain justice, and the timeline of the case. We can meet at our office, talk over the phone, or meet at your location if you are unable to travel. After the consultation, you choose whether to hire us as your attorneys.

    Step 01

    Representation

    We will notify all involved insurance companies, claims adjusters, and lawyers that they must communicate with us about your case. You won’t be bothered by their phone calls, emails or letters from this point forward. If you must give a statement to anyone regarding the incident, we will advise you what to expect. We will be there with you when you give your statement. You do not pay us while your case is pending. Our fees are paid from any money we recover. If we don’t recover anything, we don’t get paid fees.

    Step 02

    Investigation

    We will gather evidence to support your case. We will obtain incident reports, interview witnesses and investigators, and notify anyone in possession of evidence that they must preserve it for your case. We will inspect and photograph the scene of the incident and evidence involved in the incident. We will obtain your medical records and bills to support your case. We will also determine all parties who may be liable for your injuries and damages.

    Step 03

    Expert Involvement

    When necessary, we will work with experts to obtain opinions in support of your claim. We will consult with your doctors to get their opinions about your future medical needs or permanent impairment. Sometimes, other types of experts are necessary. There are many types of experts. We know how to find the right expert for your case. For example, we may ask a crash reconstructionist to explain how a disputed collision occurred or an engineer to evaluate the danger of a property condition. We pay all experts’ fees up front.

    Step 04

    Settlement

    In most cases, we can resolve your claim without court involvement. We compile the information described above and present it to the at-fault party or their insurance company. We request a specific monetary amount as compensation for you. If we reach a settlement, then your claim is resolved and we turn to resolving reimbursement obligations.

    Step 05

    Litigation

    In some cases, you must file a lawsuit to obtain a fair recovery. We will give you our opinion about whether any offer on the table is fair, but it’s your choice whether or not to file a lawsuit. The vast majority of court cases are still settled without a trial. A trial is rarely necessary.

    Step 06

    Reimbursement Obligations

    If any form of health insurance paid for your medical bills, then it probably has the right to be repaid from any money you recover. For more detail on this topic, see our FAQ on subrogation. Throughout your case, we will remain in contact with these insurers. We will negotiate with them to get them to reduce or waive their claims so that you keep more of the recovered money.

    Step 07

    Disbursement

    You receive your net settlement check, free and clear of all obligations. We have resolved all of the issues related to your claim. Your case is officially closed.
