A criminal case is not the only path to accountability after abuse or assault.
A civil claim allows you to pursue the person who caused the harm and the institution that failed to protect you. Schools. Churches. Nursing homes. Employers. When institutions knew or should have known and did nothing, they share responsibility for what happened.
You do not need a criminal conviction to file a civil claim. You do not need charges to have been filed at all.
Swipe through to understand what abuse and assault civil claims cover, who can be held liable, and what steps protect your legal options after an incident.
