Sexual Assault

Sexual assault is one of the most traumatic and personal violations a person can experience. The effects often go far beyond the physical injuries, leaving lasting emotional, psychological, and financial consequences. Survivors are left with questions, fear, and uncertainty—often unsure of who to turn to or how to move forward. At Farzan Law, we believe survivors deserve to be heard, believed, and supported. If you or a loved one has experienced sexual assault, attorney Alex Farzan is here to stand with you, protect your rights, and pursue justice.

We understand how difficult it can be to come forward. That’s why we offer a safe, respectful, and confidential space to talk about your legal options. You are not alone—and you don’t have to navigate this process on your own. Whether the assault occurred recently or years ago, you may still have the right to seek accountability and compensation.

Understanding Civil Sexual Assault Cases in California

Sexual assault is a crime—but it is also a violation of your civil rights. While criminal charges are handled by law enforcement and prosecutors, survivors can also file a civil lawsuit against the perpetrator and, in some cases, third parties who allowed the abuse to happen or failed to prevent it. A civil claim gives you the power to hold wrongdoers accountable through the legal system and to seek financial compensation for the harm you’ve suffered.

These cases are not just about money. They are about justice, recognition, and reclaiming your voice. A civil lawsuit can provide a powerful sense of closure and help create meaningful change—especially in cases where institutions looked the other way or failed to protect vulnerable individuals. At Farzan Law, we handle these cases with sensitivity and care, building strong legal strategies while protecting your privacy and dignity.

Who Can Be Held Liable?

In many sexual assault cases, the individual who committed the act can be held personally liable in civil court. But liability can also extend to organizations, employers, landlords, schools, religious institutions, rideshare companies, or property owners who failed to implement proper safety measures or who knowingly allowed a dangerous person access to others. For example, if a hotel failed to fix a broken lock, if a rideshare company failed to screen a driver, or if a university ignored complaints about a staff member, they may also be responsible under California’s civil liability laws.

We work to uncover the full scope of what happened—and who allowed it to happen. Our goal is not only to hold the perpetrator accountable, but to bring institutional negligence to light and help prevent future harm to others.

What Compensation Can a Survivor Recover?

Every survivor’s experience is unique, and the legal claim should reflect the full impact the assault has had on your life. Compensation in a civil sexual assault case may include damages for medical bills, therapy and mental health care, loss of income, and diminished earning capacity. Just as important, survivors may seek compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, PTSD, anxiety, and loss of enjoyment of life.

In some cases, punitive damages may be awarded if the conduct was particularly egregious or if there was a clear cover-up or failure to act by a third party. These damages are meant to punish wrongdoers and send a message that this type of behavior will not be tolerated.

At Farzan Law, we take the time to understand how the assault has affected your daily life, your mental health, and your future. We work with trauma-informed professionals and legal experts to build a case that honors your story while fighting for maximum compensation under the law.
