Why Hire A San Antonio Sexual Abuse Attorney
A civil lawsuit gives you a path to hold wrongdoers and enabling institutions financially accountable. While the criminal case focuses on punishment, a civil case seeks compensation and public accountability.
As San Antonio sexual abuse attorneys, we handle investigations, filings, and negotiations with insurers and defense counsel. We protect your privacy when possible, move your case forward, and aim for outcomes that reflect your losses.
We work on contingency, so you pay no upfront legal fees. You only pay if we recover money for you.
Civil Claims For Sexual Abuse Under Texas Law
Texas law allows survivors to bring civil actions for sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, indecent exposure, and related misconduct. Claims often include assault, battery, negligence, negligent hiring and retention, negligent supervision, premises liability, and violations under specific statutes.
In many San Antonio cases, liability extends beyond the offender. Institutions that failed to act on warning signs or that created unsafe conditions can face civil responsibility. You can also sue these institutions for financial compensation.
A civil claim can proceed even if there is no criminal conviction. The burden of proof in civil court is lower than in criminal court.
(310) 526-8383Who May Be Liable In A San Antonio Sexual Assault Case
Multiple parties may share responsibility in a San Antonio sexual abuse lawsuit. Identifying every accountable entity helps maximize available insurance coverage and recovery.
Potential defendants can include:
- The individual offender
- Employers and organizations that ignored reports or red flags
- Property owners, hotels, or landlords that lacked basic safety measures
- Rideshare or transportation companies that failed screening or response
- Schools, churches, or youth programs that failed to supervise or report
- Security contractors with inadequate protocols
We investigate employment records, incident reports, prior complaints, and security practices. This wider lens often reveals systemic failures that gave your attacker an opportunity to harm you.
Statute Of Limitations For Sexual Abuse Lawsuits In San Antonio
Texas sets civil filing deadlines that vary by type of claim and the age of the survivor. You cannot file once the statute of limitations has passed. Because timing rules are strict, it helps to have an attorney confirm which deadlines apply to your case.
These rules are technical and fact-specific, but the general rule is this. The sooner you can start your lawsuit, the better it is for your case. As time passes, proving that something happened becomes harder as evidence changes and people forget details. That’s why the law has a limit on how long you can wait before suing someone.
(310) 526-8383Evidence That Supports A San Antonio Sexual Abuse Claim
Strong cases are built on multiple evidence sources. You do not need every item to file, and we can move quickly to preserve what exists.
Key evidence may include medical records, therapy notes, police reports, 911 audio, photos, and messages. We also seek incident logs, surveillance video, access records, and complaint histories from employers or property owners.
Witness statements add context, especially from coworkers, neighbors, or other survivors. In some cases We work with expert witnesses on topics like trauma, security standards, and HR practices that may be relevant to your case.

What To Do After Abuse
Your safety comes first. If you choose, you can report to the San Antonio Police Department or the Bexar County Sheriff, and you can request a protective order through local courts.
Seek medical care and request a forensic exam if appropriate. A forensic exam can be performed even if you are not ready to file a police report.
Document what you remember in your own words, save messages, and avoid deleting texts or social media. Quick legal guidance helps preserve video footage, swipe logs, and other records that may otherwise be overwritten.
Our Process And How We Coordinate With Criminal Cases
We start with a confidential consultation, then conduct an independent investigation and notify responsible parties to preserve evidence. We handle all communications with insurers and defense counsel so you can focus on care.
If a criminal case exists, we coordinate without interfering. Civil claims use different standards and remedies, so your civil case can progress regardless of a criminal outcome.
We prepare every case as if it may go to trial in Bexar County. That preparation often improves settlement leverage.
