Things you should know about sexual assault and the law.

THERE are criminal cases

In criminal cases, the police decide if your attacker will face criminal charges and the Crown Prosecutor decides if the case will go through the courts. Criminal cases can lead to a conviction and punishment such as jail time and a criminal record.

There are civil cases

In civil cases, you start a lawsuit against the assailant, seeking financial compensation for the harm you suffered due, and to hold your attacker accountable for what happened.

THEre can be one, the other, or both.

The main difference between criminal and civil cases is the standard of proof. It’s more difficult to prove someone’s guilt in criminal court.

do you need a lawyer?

The law is specific and complex. You'll need a lawyer by your side.

Should I hire a civil litigation lawyer?

Helpforme lawyers listen to your story and interpret the events in legal terms. They will advise you on the validity of your claim and develop a strategic approach to help you get the best possible outcome.
