Longmont Sexual Assault Victims' Lawyer

Sexual assault statistics in the United States and Colorado are truly astounding.

Harms and Losses in Colorado Sexual Assault Cases

Unlike the criminal justice system, the civil justice system in Colorado is based on financially compensating victims of intentional, reckless, careless, and negligent acts by other people, businesses, or government entities. At Cook, Bradford & Levy, LLC, our Longmont sexual assault victims’ lawyers have decades of collective experience in Colorado’s courtrooms and have recovered millions of dollars on behalf of our clients who have been victims of a wide range of unacceptable behavior.

The amount of money that can be recovered in a sex assault case in Colorado depends on the unique circumstances of each case including the nature of the sexual assault and who was involved, among other things. Generally speaking, a knowledgeable Longmont sexual assault victims’ attorney can help a victim recover for harms and losses ranging from past and future medical bills, including counseling, past and future emotional distress including pain and suffering, as well as physical and mental impairment, which can include diagnoses of PTSD and other lasting effects of a sexual assault. A rape victim may also be able to recover punitive damages in certain cases.

Sexual Assault Can Happen Anywhere

According to RAINN, 7 in 10 sexual assaults are committed by a person known to the victim. Given this statistic, it is no surprise that rape can happen anywhere, even in the victim’s own home. One of the hallmarks of certain sexual crimes are that the victim is particularly vulnerable. Often this means alcohol or drugs were involved, or a child is assaulted in an after-school setting by a teacher or coach. It can also mean that marginalized populations such as Spanish-speaking immigrants (particularly illegal immigrants) can be targeted by perpetrators. Additionally, as Colorado’s population ages, instances of rape or sexual abuse to our elders also are on the rise both in the nursing home environment as well as at home by home-health care providers.

The Importance of Confidentiality

If you or a loved one has been a victim of sexual assault, our Longmont sexual assault victims’ lawyers can help you find your voice regardless of the circumstance of your sexual assault, regardless of your immigration status, and regardless of your ability to speak English. At Cook, Bradford & Levy, LLC, every single potential client who comes to us with their story is protected by the attorney-client privilege – even if we do not end up taking your case.

Client Reviews
★★★★★
“I was rear ended by a driver on his cell phone. I started with another attorney, but was not receiving adequate attention to my case. I switched to Brian and everything changed. He was attentive to my situation, listened to all I had to say, and worked to resolve my case in a timely fashion. He continued to communicate and touch base even during slow parts of the process. After the settlement was resolved, he has still reached out to check in on my health and well being. I would highly recommend Brian Bradford as a lawyer.” Randy
★★★★★
“A driver trying to get away from the police ran a red light and broadsided my car. My injuries affected me physically, emotionally and organizationally. Hiring Steve Cook allowed me to focus on healing while ALL the legal Issues were effectively handled by his firm. Steve's patience, honest, determination. competence and experienced evaluation of my case resulted in a great settlement without having to go to trial.” Shirley
★★★★★
“I was injured in a car accident and I was having a hard time getting much of a response from the insurance companies. I never thought I would resort to calling an attorney, but I am so happy that I did, and that Jason Levy was that attorney. He was respectful, knowledgeable, and kind. When I was healing from major surgery, he arranged for my deposition to take place all the way out in Harford County, at a library near my home, rather than having me come into the city. He was also very persistent with the other driver's insurance company, finally negotiating an excellent settlement” Kate
