What Qualifies as Sexual Assault
While most people associate the term “sexual assault” with physical violence of a sexual nature, an assault does not have to actually be physical at all. Although, many sexual assaults do include physical attacks. That said, if the person who attacked you did any of the following, they are likely guilty of sexual assault:
- Made threats
- Tried to intimidate you into engaging in sexual activity
- Abused a position of power over you to receive sexual favors
- Made unwanted sexual advances
- Made lewd comments
- Groped you or touched you inappropriately
Regardless of what happened when you suffered your attack, a sexual assault lawyer serving Lindsey from Preszler Injury Lawyers will get to the bottom of your case, build a compelling, evidence-backed claim showing that the perpetrator is liable, and help you recover the full and fair compensation you deserve.

How to Take Action Against a Sexual Assault Perpetrator
Sexual assault perpetrators deserve to be brought to full justice for their abominable acts. As a victim, you have several ways to take action against them. You can pursue criminal charges or file a civil lawsuit.
Filing Criminal Charges
When you file criminal charges against the perpetrator, law enforcement will investigate the case. If they find enough evidence to indict the person, they will be arrested and made to face trial in criminal court. If convicted, you can rest easy knowing that they are locked away, incapable of harming you or anyone else.
However, victims do not get awarded financial compensation in criminal court. For that, you must file a civil lawsuit.
Filing a Civil Lawsuit
In order to recover monetary compensation from the damages you suffered with your sexual assault, you must file a civil lawsuit against the perpetrator. A sexual assault lawyer serving Lindsey from Preszler Injury Lawyers can help you file your case and will gather evidence to fight for you in court. We have a long track record of winning damages for assault victims, and we are eager to put our resources to work for you, starting today.

The Compensation You Can Recover for Your Sexual Assault Damages
As a sexual assault victim, you are eligible to recover a number of monetary damages for what you have experienced. Preszler Injury Lawyers fights for compensation for both economic and noneconomic losses. That means you could receive a settlement or award that includes money for the following and more:
- Current and future medical bills
- Lost wages
- Reduced future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- And possibly more
The Statute of Limitations
Ontario no longer has a statute of limitations on filing a civil lawsuit for a sexual assault. The provincial government now understands that for many victims, it can take years before the full extent of the damages they have suffered becomes apparent.
That said, it is always a good idea to take legal action sooner rather than later, for a number of reasons. One, the sooner you take action, the sooner you can receive the compensation you deserve. Also, as many people learn the hard way when they wait a long time to file, evidence can fade and lose its value over time, making it more difficult to prove your case.
