Sexual Assault Lawyers Tampa, FL

In many sexual assaults, there is another person or organization whose negligence contributed to the attack. When schools, daycares, businesses, nursing homes, and other organizations fail to protect children and adults from sexual molestation or abuse, the victims suffer devastating and long-lasting emotional harm. Sexual assault lawyers at Burnetti, P.A. help victims of sexual abuse obtain justice and compensation by filing civil suits against the negligent parties.

Negligent Security

Sexual assaults can be committed by individuals that are in regular contact with the victim, including coaches, co-workers, daycare employees, teachers, counselors or service providers; or, they may be a random attack at a shopping mall, hotel, nightclub or another public venue.

Owners of public places have a duty to provide a reasonable level of security to visitors; however, in many cases of sex abuse, there is another person or organization that failed to take adequate measures to help ensure a safe environment, including:

• Failure to conduct an investigation of the person’s background
• Failure to prevent a known abuser from having interaction with children or other potential victims
• Failure to provide security measures, including adequate lighting and sufficient personnel

If adequate security measures were not established and a sexual battery occurs, the owner of the property may be held liable for negligence, in which a civil suit may be filed to compensate the victim.

Sexual Assault Against A Child

When you send your child to a school, daycare, or activity, you entrust that the organization has conducted due diligence on the personnel that will interact with your child. If your child is sexually exploited or abused, there is nothing that can prepare you for the overwhelming emotions that you experience when you learn that your child is a victim. Burnetti, P.A. helps victims and their families start to heal and to navigate through the legal process to hold the negligent party accountable.
