About Sexual Assault and Abuse Claims in Colorado

In Colorado, sexual assault is a crime that can lead to criminal consequences and penalties for perpetrators. However, it is also a civil tort, which gives a victim the right to recover financial compensation for their losses from one or more parties through the civil justice system. In a civil sexual assault claim, a victim could be awarded damages for losses such as past and future medical bills, therapy costs, medications, lost wages, loss of enjoyment of life, pain and suffering, and more. Unlike a criminal case, the filing party or plaintiff has the burden of proof in a civil sexual assault claim in Colorado. This means you or your attorney must establish what you are claiming as more likely to be true than not true. This is less than the burden of proof in a criminal case.

Who Can Be Held Liable for Sexual Assault in Denver?

A civil claim can hold not only the perpetrator responsible for sexual assault but an institution, as well. Institutions and establishments have a legal duty of care to prevent sexual assault and abuse from taking place. The failure to do so could lead to liability for sex crimes being placed on any of the following:

• Churches or religious organizations
• Schools, colleges or universities
• Daycare centers
• Community centers
• Girls and Boys Clubs of America
• Boy Scouts
• Sports organizations
• Health care facilities
• Foster care systems
• Juvenile detention halls

Institutions can be held responsible for their own neglect to prevent sexual assault, as well as face vicarious liability for criminal acts committed by their employees. An attorney from Dormer Harpring, LLC can analyze your case to determine who could be held liable.

What Is the Statute of Limitations?

In Colorado, victims have no more than six years from the date of a sexual assault incident, or six years from a victim’s 18th birthday if he or she is a survivor of child sexual abuse, to file a civil claim for this type of tort.
