Legal Help For Survivors Nationwide
Legal Help For Survivors Nationwide
At Survivor’s Justice, we are driven by a singular purpose: to stand beside individuals who have been sexually assaulted and to ensure they are heard, protected, and empowered. No one should have to face the aftermath of such trauma alone—and with us, you won’t have to.
We connect survivors with trusted legal advocates who understand the law, value your dignity, and are relentless in their pursuit of justice. Our team is built on a foundation of legal excellence, trauma-informed care, and a deep commitment to your healing.
To restore agency, pursue accountability, and walk with survivors every step of the way. We believe survivors deserve more than sympathy—they deserve informed support, legal protection, and a path forward.
Survivor’s Justice was founded by advocates who saw a systemic failure: major rideshare companies often prioritize profit over passenger safety. We knew that had to change. Drawing from years of legal experience and survivor-centered advocacy, we created a platform where survivors can safely explore their options, understand their rights, and be connected to skilled attorneys who specialize in holding negligent corporations and perpetrators accountable.
We match survivors with attorneys who not only understand the intricacies of civil litigation but are deeply committed to trauma-informed representation. These are seasoned legal professionals who listen, advise, and advocate without judgment—offering you clarity and support in one of the most difficult moments of your life.
Survivors are often left wondering: Do I have a case? What are my legal rights? Can I remain anonymous? We provide straightforward, confidential answers. Whether you are considering a civil lawsuit, looking to report misconduct, or simply seeking clarity, our platform connects you with experts who can guide you—on your terms.
Justice isn’t just about the courtroom. It’s also about reclaiming your life. We provide access to a growing network of mental health professionals, support groups, and survivor-led communities to ensure you have holistic, long-term support.
Every law firm we partner with is thoroughly vetted for both legal expertise and survivor sensitivity. These attorneys understand that your case is not just about a legal claim—it’s about your story, your healing, and your future.
If you choose to contact us, a compassionate legal representative may reach out to discuss your situation. Their approach is guided by respect, privacy, and a steadfast commitment to justice.
Look for an attorney with specific experience in sexual abuse cases, not just general personal injury law. Ask how long they’ve been handling these types of cases—they should have at least several years of specialized experience. Choose someone who demonstrates compassion and trauma-informed understanding, making you feel safe sharing your story. Verify they have knowledge of your state’s laws, including any recent legislation like the Child Victims Act or Adult Survivors Act. Trust your instincts about whether the attorney respects your boundaries and genuinely listens to you.
Ask these essential questions:
How much experience do you have with sexual abuse cases?
What types of cases similar to mine have you handled?
What is your contingency fee percentage, and what additional costs might I owe?
How will you protect my confidentiality and privacy?
What is your timeline for resolving cases like mine?
Can you explain the legal process and what to expect?
How will you communicate with me throughout the case?
What are potential challenges in my case, and how will you address them?
Remember: there are no wrong questions, and consultations should feel like conversations, not interrogations. You don’t need to share details you’re uncomfortable discussing during the first meeting.
Sexual abuse lawsuits typically take several months to several years depending on your case. The timeline varies based on factors like evidence complexity, witness cooperation, and whether your case settles or goes to trial. On average, civil sexual abuse cases may take anywhere from a few months to several years to resolve. Court schedules and procedural rules in your jurisdiction significantly affect how long cases take. Settlement cases generally resolve faster than trials, making many survivors find it advantageous to pursue agreements outside court when possible.
Victims can seek three main types of damages:
Economic Damages (quantifiable losses): Medical bills, therapy and mental health treatment costs, lost wages, lost future earning capacity, and other out-of-pocket expenses
Non-Economic Damages (intangible losses): Pain and suffering, emotional distress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of consortium (damage to relationships)
Punitive Damages (in some cases): Additional compensation designed to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct
Courts carefully evaluate the severity and duration of abuse, its impact on your ability to work and maintain relationships, and your ongoing psychological effects when calculating compensation.
Yes, multiple resources exist:
Contingency Fee Attorneys: Most sexual abuse lawyers work on contingency basis—no upfront costs. You pay nothing unless they win your case, with fees typically ranging from 33-40% of your recovery.
