Truro Sexual Assault Lawyer


If you were the victim of sexual assault, you may be entitled to financial compensation. Although no amount of money will be able to fully compensate you for the crime committed against you, by pursuing a civil claim for damages you have incurred as a result of your traumatizing experience, you may be able to offset your assault-related financial losses and recover a sense of accountability and justice.

In addition to the physical trauma, emotional anguish, and psychological challenges that sexual assault survivors often develop, people who were victimized frequently incur significant financial losses as a direct result of their assault. Damages in sexual assault claims are often economic and non-economic in nature, and frequently include:

  • Psychological counselling
  • Prescription medication
  • Mileage for medical appointments
  • Lost wages
  • Reduced earning capability
  • Failure to reach potential
  • Loss of interdependent relationship
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Mental anguish
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • And possibly more

Our sexual assault lawyers serving Truro believe that assault survivors should not be forced to pay the expensive, often ongoing costs associated with recovering from trauma inflicted upon them by the perpetrator of a reprehensible crime. Since there is no statute of limitations on sexual assault claims, our Truro sexual assault lawyers may be able to provide you with crucial legal assistance regardless of how far in the past your trauma occurred.

Also referred to as sexual battery, sexual assault is an umbrella term for any number of sexual actions performed without the consent of all parties involved. Consent is a clearly understood, evolving, and– importantly– revocable agreement between adults. During a sexual encounter, partners have the right to revoke consent at any time for any reason. Even if consent has been granted by the participants in a sexual encounter, any partner has the right to stop the activity if they no longer wish to proceed.

Whenever someone engages in non-consensual sexual activity with another person, they have committed sexual assault. These activities could include overtly violent, criminal acts such as rape or attempted rape. They may also include other unwanted actions that rob people of their control over what happens to their body, including grabbing, groping, forced kissing, non-consensual touching, and other forms of harassment.

While the perpetrators of sexual assault may be able to go about their lives without giving the non-consensual sexual encounter they instigated a second thought, their victims may carry the trauma of their abuse with them for the rest of their lives. Being assaulted can have a profound and long-lasting effect on a survivor’s psychological well-being and mental health.

The victims of sexual assault have the right to pursue justice and restitution for the crimes committed against them.
