Sexual assault is a devastating act that leaves lasting emotional, physical, and financial scars. Survivors deserve justice, safety, and accountability, not just from the perpetrator, but from those whose negligence may have allowed the crime to happen. Our team represents survivors in civil cases against property owners, businesses, and institutions that failed to provide proper security. If you or a loved one has suffered sexual assault due to negligent security, contact our Rockdale County, GA rape victim lawyers to learn how we can help.
Rape Victim Lawyer Rockdale County, GA
Survivors of rape and sexual assault often face more than the trauma of the attack itself. They face systems that are slow, intimidating, and focused on punishment rather than healing. Criminal prosecutions target the perpetrator, but civil lawsuits hold property owners and corporations accountable for the safety failures that made these crimes possible.
Our sexual assault lawyers have spent decades fighting for survivors of sexual violence and other victims of serious crimes. The work of our sexual abuse attorneys has helped expose dangerous patterns of neglect in apartment complexes, hotels, and other public spaces throughout Georgia.
Our cases have included survivors attacked in their homes, parking lots, and apartment buildings, places where safety should have been guaranteed. Our Rockdale County rape victim lawyers pursue justice not just to recover compensation, but to prevent future assaults by forcing change in policies and security standards.
In one case, Sewell v. First Gibralter Bank, a female tenant was raped in her apartment after a serial rapist entered through a sliding glass door in a second bedroom. The case went to trial and resulted in a $2.5 million verdict for the survivor.
In Campbell v. Executive Affiliates, another female tenant was raped at knifepoint after her attacker entered through an open window. This case, involving the same perpetrator, settled for $850,000 before trial.
In Pryor v. Wharton (Sterling Terrace Apartments), a woman was raped, and her daughter was sexually assaulted by a serial offender who broke in through a kitchen window. That case settled for $300,000.
All three attacks involved the same man, a known cocaine addict who admitted he originally went to the apartment complex for a pool party but began breaking into units after noticing poor security. These cases revealed the tragic consequences of inadequate property safety measures, such as unsecured windows, missing locks, and lack of supervision.
Our rape victim attorneys know that no amount of money can erase what happened, but holding negligent property owners accountable helps survivors rebuild and creates safer communities for others.
