Understanding Your Legal Rights

In Ontario, survivors of sexual assault may be entitled to compensation through civil litigation, even when criminal charges are not laid or do not result in conviction. Civil cases have different standards of proof and can provide financial compensation for:

  • Medical and Therapeutic Expenses Coverage for ongoing medical treatment, counselling, and therapy.
  • Lost Income and Future Earning Capacity Compensation for time off work and reduced earning potential.
  • Pain and Suffering Recognition of the physical and psychological harm suffered.
  • Loss of Enjoyment of Life Compensation for the impact on your quality of life and relationships.
  • Other Expenses Support for family members affected and other out-of-pocket costs.

The Legal Process

We understand that the legal process can feel overwhelming for survivors. Our approach focuses on:

  • Confidential Initial Consultation A safe, private discussion of your situation and legal options.
  • Thorough Investigation Carefully gathering evidence while respecting your privacy and wellbeing.
  • Expert Support Working with medical professionals, therapists, and other specialists who understand trauma.
  • Sensitive Communication Keeping you informed while minimizing re-traumatization throughout the process.
  • Alternative Dispute Resolution Exploring settlement options when appropriate to avoid the stress of trial.

Limitation Periods

In Ontario, most lawsuits must be started within two years. However, this deadline does not apply to cases involving sexual assault. Under the Ontario Limitations Act, there is no time limit for survivors to bring forward a claim for sexual assault or sexual misconduct. This protection also applies where the survivor was a minor, where the perpetrator was in a position of trust or authority, or where the survivor was financially, emotionally, or otherwise dependent on them.
