What To Expect From A Sexual Assault Civil Lawsuit In Ohio

Sexual assault is a deeply traumatic event, but justice through a civil lawsuit can promote healing and closure. I am attorney Konrad Kircher of Kircher Law, LLC, and I understand the courage it takes to pursue justice after a sexual violation.

I stand ready to support you with experience, compassion and complete dedication. I can educate you about Ohio sexual assault civil cases with no financial commitment and help ensure you are well-prepared for what lies ahead.

Timeline Of The Legal Process

Unfortunately, pursuing justice may transport you back into your trauma. Knowing how the process works can help you cope.

  • Initial consultation with a lawyer: I will listen to your story, explain your legal options and help you determine your next steps.
  • Filing the lawsuit: Once you decide to proceed, I will file the formal complaint, a document outlining the details of your case and the damages you seek.
  • Discovery phase: During discovery, both parties exchange information and evidence, such as depositions, interrogatories and requests for documents, helping to build a strong case.
  • Settlement discourses: If you are open to settling, I have the skill to negotiate for a fair and just award.

If a settlement is out of reach, your case will proceed to trial, and I will always be looking out for your best interests.

The Need For Emotional And Psychological Support

Support is vital as your sexual assault case can bring up memories and feelings you would rather forget. It’s important to lean on family and friends for support, or consider a therapist who specializes trauma to help you cope during this sensitive time.

Potential Outcomes In Sexual Assault Civil Cases

The outcome of a sexual assault lawsuit can vary depending on each situation, but they generally include:

  • Monetary compensation for related medical expenses, lost wages (if applicable) and psychological distress
  • Punitive damages to punish the perpetrator and deter similar conduct
  • Nonmonetary relief, such as an apology or another action

Regardless of the result, taking legal action can be an empowering step toward reclaiming your life.
