Taking Action After Sexual Assault

Sexual assault is one of the most traumatic experiences a person can endure. Survivors face not only physical harm but emotional and psychological wounds that can last a lifetime. When that trauma is made worse by inaction or denial, Kwartler Manus steps in to restore control and demand justice.

Our sexual assault attorneys in Philadelphia represent survivors across Pennsylvania in civil actions against offenders and the institutions that allowed abuse to happen. Whether the assault occurred in a workplace, school, hotel, apartment complex, or medical setting, we move fast to uncover what went wrong and hold every responsible party accountable.

Your Right to Pursue a Civil Case

While criminal prosecution punishes the offender, a civil lawsuit empowers survivors to seek compensation for the harm they’ve suffered. Even if criminal charges were never filed or didn’t lead to a conviction, a civil claim allows you to hold the offender, and any negligent institution, financially and publicly accountable.

Civil sexual assault cases may arise from:

  • Rape, molestation, or unwanted sexual contact
  • Assaults in hotels, apartments, or rideshares due to negligent security
  • Abuse in workplaces, schools, or care facilities
  • Misconduct by medical or mental health professionals
  • Institutional failure to act on prior complaints or warnings

Our firm helps survivors pursue these claims with care and precision, protecting your privacy while making your voice heard.

How We Build These Cases

Kwartler Manus takes a trial-first approach. That means we prepare every case from day one as if it will go before a jury because that’s what forces defendants to take responsibility.

We gather and preserve evidence that may include:

  • Security footage or access logs from the location of the assault
  • Communication records and witness statements
  • Prior reports of misconduct or similar incidents
  • Employment and institutional safety policies
  • Expert testimony to establish psychological and emotional impact

Our process is deliberate and strategic. We don’t let delays or red tape silence survivors. We create pressure and move cases toward resolution quickly and effectively.

Who May Be Held Liable

Sexual assault isn’t always the result of one person’s actions alone. Institutions and employers often play a role when they ignore complaints, fail to screen employees, or fail to provide adequate security.

Depending on where the assault occurred, we may hold responsible:

  • Property owners or landlords who ignored known dangers
  • Employers or supervisors who failed to act on reports
  • Schools, universities, and religious institutions that protected abusers
  • Hotels, rideshare companies, or transportation providers that failed to ensure safety
  • Healthcare providers who abused trust or violated patient boundaries

We pursue every possible avenue of liability to ensure survivors receive both justice and closure.

What Compensation Can Include

Survivors of sexual assault can seek compensation that addresses the full impact of what they’ve endured: physically, emotionally, and financially. We approach every case with empathy and focus, fighting to secure results that truly reflect the harm done.

Recoverable damages can include:

  • Medical expenses and future care
  • Therapy and psychological counseling costs
  • Lost income or job-related losses
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress and trauma-related conditions
  • Punitive damages to punish and deter misconduct

No amount of money can undo what happened, but financial recovery can help restore independence and stability while you rebuild your life.
