A Quick Review on Sexual Assault

Many people mistakenly believe that sexual assault is only rape. However, this is far from the truth. Sexual assault is an umbrella term that covers any consensual and unwanted sexual contact. In general, sexual assault consists of the following:

• Any unwanted touching, fondling, massaging, grazing, etc.
• Any unwanted kissing, forceful kissing, etc.
• Attempted rape
• Forcing the victim to perform any sexual acts, like penetrating the attacker’s body, oral sex, etc.
• Rape

Without a doubt, sexual assault can have devastating consequences. Victims can suffer physical injuries as well as mental and emotional harm.

Sexual assault can lead to the following: physical harm like sexually transmitted infections, injuries to genitals, injuries to reproductive organs, fractures, lacerations, scrapes, bruises, etc.; emotional and mental harm like depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, fear, flashbacks, anxiety, etc. This harm can be long lasting and require years of different treatment to overcome.

Whatever the specific type of sexual assault that you suffered, it is important that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible to explore your legal options.

Can You Sue for Furniture Delivery Sexual Assault?

If you suffered sexual assault, then you could have grounds to file a lawsuit. Who can you sue? Of course, you can always file a lawsuit against your attacker; however, this is not your only option. In the case of furniture delivery sexual assault, you could also have grounds to sue the attacker’s employer.

In some cases, the attacker is directly employed by the furniture company. In other cases, the furniture company hires or contracts a third-party delivery service to fulfil furniture deliveries. Regardless, someone could be held accountable.

This is based on vicarious liability – which essentially states that a party or entity could be liable for the actions of their employees or contractors. So, if the attacker was an employee of the furniture store, then the furniture store could be liable for the harm resulting from the sexual assault. What if the attacker was a third-party employee? Because the furniture store hired the third-party delivery service directly, and the delivery service hired the employee who attacked you, both the furniture store and the third-party delivery service could be liable.

In the end, liability will be based on the specific details surrounding the incident. For example, whether the attacker already had a record of sexual violence or misconduct, whether the attacker was subjected to background checks prior to being hired, whether there had been previous complaints made, etc.

Without a doubt, you could have grounds to file a sexual assault lawsuit for the harm that you suffered during a furniture delivery. For more information about your legal options and whether you could file a lawsuit, do not hesitate to contact the experts at our law firm as soon as possible.
