We Fight for Victims in Bergen County & Throughout New Jersey
Sexual assault is a traumatic experience that can leave you grappling with emotional, physical, and financial repercussions for the rest of your life. Beyond the criminal justice system, you can pursue compensation through a personal injury claim.
These claims can hold perpetrators, and sometimes negligent third parties, accountable for the harm you have endured. A civil claim may compensate you for your related losses and damages.
At Law Offices Rosemarie Arnold, we are tenacious advocates for those who have endured the personal invasion of their dignity, health, and well-being in sexual assaults. Our Fort Lee personal injury firm represents statewide survivors of sexual assault with compassion, led by the expertise of civil trial lawyers certified by the New Jersey Supreme Court.

Personal Injury Claims for Sexual Assault in New Jersey
Personal injury claims for sexual assault are separate from criminal prosecutions. While criminal cases focus on punishing the offender for breaking the law, personal injury claims aim to secure financial compensation for your losses.
This could include:
Medical expenses
Therapy costs
Lost wages
Emotional trauma
Pain and suffering
Additionally, some cases may involve third-party liability. For example, businesses, landlords, or organizations that failed to provide adequate security or vet employees could also be held accountable. Holding these parties responsible ensures justice and incentivizes better protection for others.

What Should You Do to Pursue Justice in Sexual Assault Claims?
To pursue a personal injury claim related to sexual assault, you need to take steps to protect your well-being and preserve your legal options.
Seek medical attention: Prioritize your health and safety by visiting a medical professional immediately. They can treat physical injuries and screen for potential health concerns while documenting your condition, which can serve as evidence later.
Preserve evidence: If possible, avoid showering, changing clothes, or cleaning up before seeking medical care. Evidence like clothing, DNA, or physical injuries can be critical in criminal and personal injury claims.
Report the assault: Notify law enforcement as soon as possible. Filing a police report initiates a formal investigation and documents the incident for legal proceedings.
Speak with a counselor or support group: Emotional support is crucial. Reach out to a licensed counselor, therapist, or sexual assault hotline for guidance and assistance.
