Whether seeking monetary damages for pain and suffering, medical expenses, therapy costs, or lost wages, Slater | Grant brings a proven track record of results.
One of the most critical roles of a sexual assault lawyer is identifying all parties responsible. In many cases, the perpetrator isn’t the only liable party. Third parties who failed to provide a safe environment may also be legally accountable.
Liable parties may include:
Employers who ignored complaints or failed to conduct background checks
Educational institutions that turned a blind eye to sexual misconduct
Landlords who failed to maintain secure premises
Hotels, bars, or rideshare companies that neglected safety protocols
Medical professionals who violated ethical and legal boundaries
Holding these parties accountable not only helps you recover damages—it prevents future harm to others.
Criminal prosecution seeks to punish the perpetrator. Civil lawsuits, on the other hand, aim to compensate the victim. As your sexual assault lawyer, Slater | Grant will pursue a civil case regardless of whether criminal charges have been filed. Civil litigation is often the only avenue survivors have to gain financial compensation and hold institutions accountable.
Importantly, the burden of proof in civil court is lower than in criminal court, which means survivors can prevail even when a criminal conviction is not secured.
In Florida, survivors of sexual assault have a limited window to file a civil lawsuit. The statute of limitations varies depending on the circumstances of the case and the age of the victim. Acting quickly ensures that evidence is preserved and your legal rights are protected.
Our sexual assault lawyers work urgently and efficiently to meet every deadline and file timely claims.
The amount of compensation varies depending on the severity of the assault, the impact on your life, and the conduct of the defendant. At Slater | Grant, we aim to recover maximum compensation for:
Pain and suffering
Emotional trauma
Medical and psychological treatment
Lost wages and future earning capacity
Loss of enjoyment of life
Punitive damages for egregious misconduct
We also fight to ensure that institutional reforms are implemented when appropriate, protecting others from future harm.

One of the most pressing concerns survivors have is privacy—and rightfully so. Sharing the details of a traumatic experience can feel overwhelming, especially when there’s a fear that your identity or personal information might be made public. At Slater | Grant, your confidentiality is our priority, and our sexual assault lawyers take every possible measure to protect your identity and your dignity throughout the legal process.
Our legal team is well-versed in filing under pseudonyms (such as “Jane Doe” or “John Doe”) when permitted, which shields your real name from public records. In addition, we use protective court orders to limit access to sensitive evidence and documents. During discovery and litigation, we ensure that your medical records, therapy notes, and personal communications are disclosed only when absolutely necessary—and only under strict legal protocols.
We also communicate with you on your terms, whether that means secure phone calls, encrypted emails, or private in-person meetings at discreet locations. Every step of the process is tailored to make you feel safe, informed, and empowered.
In short, hiring an experienced sexual assault lawyer doesn’t just help you seek justice—it gives you peace of mind. With Slater | Grant, you never have to choose between seeking accountability and protecting your privacy. We’re here to make sure you can have both.
