For survivors of sex trafficking, the path to healing often begins with accountability. Many victims in Maryland were trafficked under threat, coercion, or manipulation—often within plain sight. Whether your abuse occurred in a hotel, workplace, or through online exploitation, you have the right to file a civil lawsuit and demand justice.
At our firm, we focus on civil litigation for survivors of sex trafficking in Maryland. Civil lawsuits differ from criminal cases in that they seek monetary compensation from not only the trafficker but also negligent third parties that may have contributed to or enabled the abuse.
Who Can Be Held Liable for Trafficking?
You may be able to bring a civil claim against:
Individuals who trafficked or recruited you
Businesses that benefited financially from your exploitation
Hotels or rental properties that turned a blind eye
Employers who coerced or manipulated victims
Online platforms used to facilitate trafficking
Many of these cases are pursued under the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA), which provides a powerful legal framework for survivors.
Compensation in a Civil Case May Include:
Emotional pain and suffering
Lost wages or income potential
Cost of counseling and medical care
Relocation or recovery services
Punitive damages for institutional complicity
We understand the courage it takes to step forward. Our team provides a secure, private environment where you can share your experience and get the support you need.
