Sexual Abuse & Assault Civil Lawsuits in Virginia
Fairfax attorneys provide confidential legal representation for survivors
If you experienced sexual abuse or assault — whether recently or many years ago — you may have the right to legal relief. You deserve to be heard, and believed. Even if there was no criminal conviction, civil law allows you to seek accountability and compensation for the harm you suffered, including lost income, therapy costs and pain and suffering. At Pikrallidas & Probasco, our job is simple: Listen first. Protect you. Then hold the responsible people accountable. Everything you share with us is private and treated with respect. We have offices in Fairfax, Manassas, Centreville and Front Royal, Virginia.
Holding schools, churches and employers accountable in Northern Virginia
We represent survivors — not institutions. We help individuals bring civil claims against:
- Schools and universities
- Churches and religious organizations
- Employers and supervisors
- Coaches and youth programs
- Medical providers
- Property owners
- Individuals who abused positions of trust
In many cases, organizations knew or should have known and failed to protect you.
You may still have a case even if the abuse happened years ago
You are not required to have reported abuse or assault at the time it occurred. Many survivors tell no one for years. That is common, and understandable. Coming forward can feel overwhelming. However, you may still have a case even if:
- You never called police.
- You were a child.
- The abuse happened decades ago.
- There are no witnesses.
- The person is still employed.
- You only recently realized the impact.
Virginia law has special rules and exceptions that may extend filing deadlines for child sex abuse victims. We can explain your options clearly and privately.
