How A Lawyer Can Help Rape Victims
There are many ways that a lawyer can help rape and violent assault victims. In addition to giving you legal guidance and upholding your rights by holding your attacker liable for the damage they caused, they can provide emotional support while guiding you through the complex legal system and making sure you understand your options and legal rights.
There are many emotions that come with getting raped and many times, victims are not even sure if it was a rape because (for example) it was with an intimate partner or someone they know, or while definitely unwanted, it wasn’t violent or it was over in just a few minutes. Any time someone makes unwanted and unsolicited sexual advances that threaten the victim’s feeling of safety or forces them into a non-consensual sexual act, this is not right and should not happen. If this has happened to you or someone you care about, a trustworthy Savanna, GA rape victim lawyer can help the victim to understand their options in a safe and comfortable setting of their choice.
Many rape victims are in such shock and too traumatized to fully register what has happened to them and worry that because they did not report the assault at the time that it happened, they can’t do anything about it. This is not true because Georgia does not have a statute of limitations (a time limit) for rape. A victim can make a report to the police at any time and they can also work with a personal injury lawyer to begin building a case against their assailant.
