Civil litigation offers survivors a structured, trauma-informed path to accountability and healing. From the confidential initial consultation through investigation, filing, discovery, and potential settlement or trial, the process centers survivor agency and control at every stage. Unlike criminal proceedings, civil cases can reach beyond individual perpetrators to hold institutions accountable for enabling abuse, and settlements often include policy changes that protect others.
