Experiencing sexual assault anywhere can be a dehumanizing, devastating, and infuriating experience. When it happens at work, however, the gravity of its impact on your daily life can complicate the aftermath.

Our sexual assault attorneys in San Diego can help you file a civil lawsuit against the coworker and employer responsible for violating you, your rights, and your peace of mind.

Sexual assault can include sexual harassment, but sexual harassment doesn’t necessarily include sexual assault. Under California law, any kind of sexual interaction that happens without the explicit consent of the receiving party can be considered sexual assault. The key distinguishing factor here is physical contact – if any occurred, a sexual assault may have also occurred.

If you’re unsure about what happened to you, reach out to an Employment Law Associate at Gold Coast Counsel, APC to discuss potential sexual assault you may have experienced, we’ll work with you to understand the events that occurred and provide legal options that can help you seek fair and just compensation from responsible parties.
