Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pursue a civil claim if criminal charges were never filed?
Yes. Civil claims and criminal prosecutions are separate legal matters. Even if criminal charges are not filed or do not result in a conviction, you may still have the right to pursue compensation through a civil lawsuit, depending on the circumstances.
Who can be held responsible in a sexual assault case?
In addition to the individual responsible for the assault, businesses, landlords, hotels, schools, employers, or other entities may be liable if their negligence contributed to the incident.
Will my case remain confidential?
Our firm understands the sensitive nature of these matters and handles every case with professionalism and discretion. We will explain the confidentiality protections that may apply to your case.
What damages may be recovered?
Compensation may include medical expenses, counseling costs, lost income, emotional distress, pain and suffering, and other damages permitted under Florida law.
How much does it cost to hire Jenkins Law P.L.?
Many civil personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning attorney's fees are generally paid only if compensation is successfully recovered.
