Reporting a Sexual Assault
Sexual assault is never your fault, and shame and fear should not make you feel unable to report the crime that was committed against you. If you want to report a sexual assault and begin civil proceedings against the perpetrator, you might benefit from the services of a lawyer.
Holding the Liable Parties Financially Responsible
While you have the right to hold the perpetrator responsible in criminal court, the law also allows you to hold them and potentially other liable parties financially responsible for their actions.
The Canadian Victims’ Bill of Rights entitles you to obtain financial restitution from the person who sexually assaulted you. Your lawyer may also be able to make sure you are aware of additional important factors in your sexual assault civil lawsuit, including:
- The compensation you may be entitled to as the victim of a crime
- Your short-term financial recovery options for expenses like medical bills if you are without insurance, under the Victim Quick Response Program.
- Compensation if your home or personal property was damaged
Holding the perpetrator and other liable parties responsible may be an important part of the healing process. A sexual assault lawyer serving Stirling may be able to protect your rights and help you understand the full scope of the compensation you may be eligible to receive.

Financial Compensation to Which You May Be Entitled
A sexual assault can leave you with serious physical injuries and unable to work while you cope with the aftermath. That does not mean you should shoulder the financial burden of your assault and its aftermath on your own. As the victim of a sexual assault, the law entitles you to receive certain financial compensations. The compensation you may recover depends on your situation. A sexual assault lawyer at Preszler Injury Lawyers may be able to help you determine the damages to which you may be entitled.
There Is Still Time to File Your Civil Lawsuit
Though many types of civil cases have a very limited time frame, the Ontario Limitation Act was recently amended to create an open time period for filing civil lawsuits in sexual assault claims. Do not forgo taking legal action because you assume your time limit has run out. Our team may be able to help you determine your options and the time you have to file a civil lawsuit.
