Pursuing Justice Through Civil Lawsuits For Victims Of Sexual Assault
An abuse survivor who has suffered from a sexual assault is healing from more than broken bones and physical damage; they are trying to heal their soul on a spiritual level. I am the founder of Kircher Law, LLC, in Maineville. I am attorney Konrad Kircher, and I help clients throughout Ohio pursue civil lawsuits to hold assailants accountable for their actions and the damage they caused.
Sexual Assault As An Abuse Of Power
Ohio state laws provide for civil actions for damages when a person in a position of power abuses that authority in a sexual way. As a civil sexual assault attorney, I help victims who have been sexually abused or assaulted in the following situations:
- Medical professional sexual assaults, including sexual assaults perpetrated by a medical doctor or a mental health professional
- Sexual assaults in the workplace, including assaults by employees and direct report victims who have been abused by persons in positions of authority, like managers or bosses
- Sexual assaults involving intoxication, including college campus assaults
In my decades of experience representing abuse survivors, I have a deep understanding that healing from an act of sexual violence takes a team. I take my position on that team very seriously by holding assailants accountable through the civil court system. In doing so, I help victims pursue financial compensation to assist in their recovery as provided for in Ohio negligence laws.
Filing Deadlines For Adult Survivors Of Sexual Assault
In the state of Ohio, the statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit to hold an assailant accountable in a civil action is usually two years from the date the incident took place. This is significantly less than the deadline allowed for child victims of sexual abuse. An experienced Ohio sexual assault attorney can help you understand the filing deadlines for your specific situation. I am committed to helping my clients understand the legal requirements for their case so that they can make informed decisions about how they would like to proceed.
