Sexual Assault Injury Attorneys in Santa Clarita

Trusted Legal Representation Throughout Los Angeles County

Sexual assault is a crime, punishable in California by prison time, steep fines, and probation. However, separate from any criminal prosecution, victims of sexual assault may take civil action against the perpetrator to seek compensation for economic and non-economic damages. Sexual assault is incredibly traumatic and often leaves the victim dealing with unexpected medical costs (including therapy expenses), as well as physical and emotional scars that can last a lifetime. If you are the victim of sexual assault, you do not have to suffer these costs on your own.

The attorneys at Edzant Price are seasoned Santa Clarita sexual assault injury lawyers with over 50 years of legal experience combined. Our firm is dedicated to helping victims of heinous crimes seek the full recovery they are owed. We understand that no amount of financial compensation can make up for what a sexual assault victim has been through; however, it can allow a victim the ability to begin the healing process without added financial burdens.

Do not hesitate to call Edzant Price LLP at 661-222-9929 if you or a loved one has been injured in a sexual assault situation in Santa Clarita, Los Angeles County, or anywhere else in California. Our personal injury lawyers can help.

How These Types of Claims Work

In California, victims of sexual assault that occurred on or after January 1, 2019, have ten years from the date of the assault to bring a civil claim. However, the state recognizes that when the victim is a minor, trauma can prevent him/her from bringing a claim in this time period. Therefore, if the victim was under the age of 18 when the sexual assault took place, he/she has either eight years after turning 18 to file a claim or three years after learning the cause of his/her injuries to file a claim, whichever comes first.

The process of filing a personal injury claim following a sexual assault is both emotionally difficult and legally complex. You may have already dealt with or are currently dealing with criminal proceedings against the perpetrator. Having an attorney on your side to help you navigate the personal injury process can be crucial to the outcome of your case.
