Many people don’t realize there are civil remedies for sexual assault here in California. The sensational cases of Harvey Weinstein and USC’s Dr. George Tyndall have captivated our recent headlines. Their victims and others who have suffered sexual assault or abuse by a person of power or wealth may not realize California law provides a civil tort remedy in addition to criminal consequences.
California law provides civil remedies for sexual assault and/or sexual abuse or rape. This allows the Law Firm of Rivers Morrell to hold those responsible financially accountable for their actions and the impact it has made upon your life. Our work ensures victims of sexual crimes have the opportunity to seek the financial resources required for ongoing treatment, support and counseling.
My name is Rivers Morrell and I have more than 40 years of experience in personal injury and civil tort cases such as these. The civil remedies for sexual assault are the same as they are for cases involving the transmission of an STD without warning in advance of intimate contact. I understand the incredibly personal issues and emotions associated with these cases. My clients appreciate the confidence and privacy we maintain throughout the case. This is not about publicity or vengeance, it is about seeking fair compensation for the violations associated with another person’s conduct and the impact it will have on your life moving forward.
We have listened intently to our clients, validated their intent to seek justice and helped them to recover more than $10 million in these types of cases.
“Don’t give up your faith. You’re not alone… I contacted 11 attorneys before I found Rivers. He listened, for a long time, he listened… and it meant the world to me.”
