Liability Beyond the Perpetrator
When it comes to sexual assault and sexual harassment, holding the perpetrator accountable is paramount, but it's also essential to ensure that any enablers who knew this would – or could – happen also face the consequences for their inaction. There are multiple avenues by which you have the absolute right to seek justice against the entities who failed to warn or put a stop to this horrific behavior. Brustein Law will help you hold every bad actor accountable for their role in the harm you suffered.
Failure to Warn: In some instances, if a party was aware or should have been aware of the potential for harm and failed to warn potential victims or take preventative measures, they can be held liable for failure to warn.
Failure to Intervene: If a responsible party, such as an employer or educational institution, failed to stop behavior they knew or should have known about, they could be liable for the perpetrator's conduct.
Negligence: Certain individuals or entities, depending on the circumstances, owe a duty to others to provide a safe environment, and if they fail to do so, they can be held liable for negligence.
