Sexual Harassment & Assault
Survivors of sexual assault and sexual harassment can have lifelong scars and can be left feeling powerless.
Edwards Beightol understands how important it is for survivors to get justice and tell their story. We also understand that survivors usually require extensive mental health, and sometimes physical, treatment that is financially out of reach. We help survivors of sexual assault and sexual harassment get the compensation — and the justice — they deserve.
The team at Edwards Beightol has spent years representing survivors of sexual assault and sexual harassment. We know how important it is to believe in our clients. We know how important it is to hold accountable not only the attackers, but the companies and organizations that empower them. If you or someone you love has been sexually assaulted or harassed, we may be able to help.
What is a civil claim for sexual harassment or assault?
A claim of sexual harassment or assault can arise in a number of different ways. You do not have to have a criminal conviction to have a successful sexual harassment or assault claim. Occasionally, sexual abusers act alone. Often, sexual harassment and sexual assault occur because an organization has created an environment that allows it to occur. When a company or institution permits and protects sexual abusers, we hold them accountable. Sexual harassment or assault claims can be brought against:
Employers (when the harassment occurred at work or a work-related event)
Rideshare companies like Uber® and Lyft®
Property owners who fail to provide safe premises
University organizations
Sports organizations
Children’s programs
Schools and extracurricular programs
