Sex Trafficking & Sexual Abuse Lawyers
Fighting for Survivors Nationwide
Sex trafficking and sexual abuse can happen anywhere, from hotels and motels to rideshare vehicles, airlines, and beyond. Survivors often feel isolated, but legal options exist to hold both individual perpetrators and the institutions that enable or profit from trafficking liable. Under laws like the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA), hotels, transportation companies, and other businesses may be sued if they knowingly ignore red flags or fail to protect victims.
If you or a loved one has experienced sex trafficking or sexual abuse, you deserve compassionate counsel and tenacious representation. Our firm focuses on civil litigation to secure compensation for survivors and force sweeping changes within enabling industries. By filing a lawsuit, you not only pursue justice but also help hold corporations accountable for their negligence.
Hotels & Motels
- Philadelphia Motels Settlement (2025): Three women, trafficked as minors, secured a $17.5 million settlement from motels that ignored blatant signs of sexual exploitation. This record-setting settlement highlights the courts’ willingness to hold hospitality businesses accountable.
- Red Roof Inn Lawsuit – Columbus, OH (2025): A plaintiff filed a federal lawsuit accusing Red Roof of knowingly benefiting from trafficking. Hotel staff allegedly ignored or even enabled the traffickers. This case emphasizes corporate responsibility for property misuse.
- Marriott Trafficking Suit – Palmdale, CA (2024): A woman sued Marriott after allegedly being trafficked at one of its franchise locations. She contends staff turned a blind eye, highlighting ongoing negligence among major hotel chains.
Rideshare & Airlines
- Uber Trafficking Lawsuit – Georgia (2025): A groundbreaking suit where a mother sued Uber, claiming a driver transported her underage daughter directly to a trafficker. This underscores potential rideshare liability when companies fail to safeguard minors.
- Uber Sexual Assault Cases – Multi-State (2024–2025): Over 1,600 sexual assault claims against Uber have been allowed to proceed in California, reflecting courts’ recognition that corporate rideshare policies can facilitate or fail to prevent abuse.
- Delta Air Lines Assault Case – California (2024): A 13-year-old sued Delta for alleged negligence after she was assaulted on a flight. The lawsuit argues flight attendants overserved a passenger and failed to protect a minor on board.
Statute of Limitations
Many states have extended time limits for filing civil claims. Under federal law, survivors may have up to 10 years from the offense (or from turning 18) to file suit against complicit institutions or traffickers. Don’t assume it’s too late—consult an attorney about current “lookback windows” and updated statutes.
Why File a Civil Lawsuit?
- Secure compensation for therapy, medical care, emotional distress, and lost opportunities.
- Expose negligence by hotels, motels, or rideshare companies that put profits over safety.
- Enact industry-wide reforms to protect future victims.
Compassionate & Confidential
We know how painful it can be to revisit a traumatic experience. Our legal team practices trauma-informed representation—respecting your boundaries, protecting your privacy, and offering support at each stage of the process.
Investigation & Evidence
We conduct a thorough investigation of the businesses or individuals who enabled your trafficking or abuse. This can include hotel records, surveillance footage, staff interviews, and corporate communications showing knowledge or willful ignorance of suspicious activities.
Negotiation or Trial
While many cases settle quietly, we prepare each one as if it will go to trial—maximizing potential recovery and ensuring defendants take your claim seriously. You remain in control of all settlement discussions and final decisions.
Yes. Hotels that ignore clear red flags of trafficking can be found liable under laws like the TVPRA. Courts have ruled that these businesses may not simply shift blame to franchisees or individual employees. Recent large settlements confirm survivors’ right to pursue damages.
If a driver or airline staff acted negligently—transporting you without verifying age, ignoring pleas for help, or overserving alcohol to an assailant—you may have grounds for a lawsuit. Emerging case law holds major transportation companies accountable for failing to implement safe policies.
Even if you worry about limited evidence, the discovery process can uncover internal records, training documents, and corporate memos. This information may help prove the defendants knew or should have known about your abuse.
We typically operate on a contingency basis: no upfront fees, and you only pay if we recover compensation for you. This arrangement allows survivors from all financial backgrounds to seek top-tier legal help.
Not necessarily. Thanks to legislative changes, many survivors can still file claims for past abuse. Consult with us about newly expanded statutes of limitations or any special “lookback windows” in your state.
If you’ve experienced sex trafficking or sexual abuse in any setting—hotel, rideshare, airplane, or otherwise—our team stands ready to advocate on your behalf. We are here to help you seek not only financial recovery but also institutional accountability and the closure you deserve.
