Dallas Sexual Assault Attorney

Some workplaces and institutions will do anything to protect their image. They might delay reports, bury complaints, or pressure you to stay quiet. At Goff Law, PLLC, we look at internal emails, staff handbooks, and past conduct to uncover patterns of misconduct. You do not pay anything in legal fees if we do not win.

Losing your job, being cut off socially, or facing backlash after speaking up is something no one should have to go through. It happens more often than people think. We treat retaliation as part of the injury; not a separate issue. According to Texas Labor Code § 21.055, the law makes it clear that it is illegal to punish someone for reporting harassment or assault. We use that statute to protect you and hold the right people accountable.

Some assaults happen in vehicles that were supposed to provide a safe ride. This can include taxis, rideshares, or cars driven by employees or contractors. We look closely at what safety measures were in place and whether the company did anything to protect you. We often find patterns when we review cases involving transportation providers, such as:

• Unvetted drivers
• Background check failures
• Unsafe routing decisions
• Prior driver harassment complaints
• Drivers assigned vehicles despite red flags
• Poor app response to reports
• Delays in handling sexual assault claims
• Multiple violations of internal policy
• Vehicles missing camera surveillance
• Ignored GPS or location alerts

These claims can involve both the driver and the company that allowed the misconduct to happen. Our firm has represented clients whose rideshare cases uncovered broader safety issues. The screening requirements for drivers are outlined in Texas Transportation Code § 2402.107, and we use that law to hold companies responsible when they fail to follow it.

You do not need to know what you want from this yet. Maybe you are just gathering information. Maybe you are trying to make sense of something that should never have happened. Whatever brought you here, we want you to feel safe asking questions.

When you reach out, we start with a quiet conversation. You tell us what you are comfortable sharing, and we listen. There is no script, no checklist, and no pressure to retell anything you are not ready to revisit. If it feels right to move forward, we take small steps together. That could mean reviewing documents, requesting records, or writing things down in your own words. You will never be expected to explain yourself or relive things for our sake.

No two claims follow the same path. Some resolve with an agreement. Others go to court. Some clients may be unsure of the difference between sexual abuse and sexual assault. In every case, we help you understand what options you have and we shape the process around what feels safe and manageable for you. You will work with your Dallas catastrophic injury lawyer or a sexual assault lawyer in Dallas who understands how personal this is. You are never expected to tell your whole story unless you are ready. Typically, under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.0045, you will have up to five years to file a civil sexual assault claim, but you are always welcome to start with a question.
