Rape
If your child has been forced to have sexual intercourse in an act of rape, then you have the right to file a claim for damages beyond any criminal charges that the perpetrator may face. Rape is defined as sexual intercourse against the other person's will, usually through means of force, intimidation, or violence. Sexual assault is often tied very closely to rape because of the possible dangerous physical contact or the threat of an injury or death. Physical and emotional damages are common for rape victims and these damages can be addressed in a civil claim against the guilty individual. If your child or loved one's has been a victim of rape, then you should contact a lawyer immediately. They will be able to provide you with compassionate personal legal representation to address the issue of compensation.
There are various types of emotional damage that are often associated with rape victims:
- Anxiety
- Severe emotional distress
