When institutions fail to protect individuals from sexual assault, they can and should be held accountable. In the attached video, Brett Steinberg explains how institutions, including rehabilitation centers, schools, workplaces, and other organizations, can be legally responsible for failing to prevent sexual assault.
Holding Institutions Accountable
Under Florida law, institutions can be liable if they knew or should have known about a danger but failed to take action. Several key factors can establish liability, including:
- Prior Incidents: If an institution knew that an individual posed a risk but failed to intervene, they may be held responsible.
- Inadequate Security & Supervision: A lack of proper oversight, security measures, or background checks can create an environment where assaults occur.
- Negligent Policies: Institutions must have clear policies and procedures in place to protect individuals from harm. If they don’t, they can be held accountable.
Real Cases, Real Justice
Steinberg Law has successfully represented victims of institutional negligence. In one case, a young woman was sexually assaulted at a rehabilitation facility. The insurance company initially offered minimal compensation, but after taking the case to trial, Steinberg Law secured a $2.6 million verdict on her behalf. This case is a clear example of how victims can seek justice and hold institutions responsible for their failures.
