When your privacy has been invaded through acts of voyeurism, the effects can be life-altering. In Florida, victims of this deeply violating conduct may pursue civil remedies—completely separate from the criminal justice process. At Slater | Grant, our experienced voyeurism lawyers provide powerful, discreet, and results-driven legal representation to individuals who have suffered emotional, financial, or reputational harm from being unlawfully observed or recorded.
If you or a loved one has been the victim of voyeurism, you don’t have to suffer in silence. Hold the perpetrator accountable through Florida’s civil justice system. We invite you to complete our free case evaluation form or call us now at 813-995-6444 to speak confidentially with an attorney who understands.
Voyeurism involves the intentional and non-consensual observation, recording, or photography of an individual engaged in intimate or private acts, such as dressing, bathing, or engaging in sexual activity. Under Florida civil law, these acts may constitute:
Invasion of privacy
Intentional infliction of emotional distress
Negligence or gross negligence
Civil battery or trespass
Violation of Florida’s Video Voyeurism laws, under Chapter 810
Unlike criminal prosecutions—which are initiated by the state—civil claims allow the victim to sue the offender directly for monetary damages, emotional suffering, and injunctive relief.
Victims may pursue a civil lawsuit when someone:
Secretly records or photographs them in a private setting
Uses hidden cameras or surveillance devices without consent
Shares or distributes explicit content without permission
Uploads private videos or images to the internet
Fails to secure premises or take reasonable precautions against privacy breaches (e.g., in a hotel, locker room, or rental property)
These cases often overlap with video voyeurism, which is addressed in both criminal and civil statutes. As your voyeurism lawyer, we ensure your case is supported by the correct legal framework and aggressively pursue maximum damages on your behalf.
Under Florida civil law, victims of voyeurism may recover a wide range of damages, including:
Compensatory damages for mental anguish, humiliation, and emotional distress
Medical or psychological treatment costs, including therapy
Lost income or diminished earning capacity due to reputational harm
Punitive damages, in cases of willful or egregious conduct
Injunctive relief, such as orders to prevent further distribution of content
Attorneys’ fees and litigation costs, when permitted by statute
At Slater | Grant, we work tirelessly to ensure every avenue for recovery is pursued—and that your case reflects the true depth of your suffering.
While criminal charges are filed by the state and result in fines or imprisonment for the defendant, civil lawsuits are about you—the victim—seeking justice in the form of financial and injunctive relief.
| Criminal Case | Civil Case |
|---|---|
| Prosecuted by the State | Filed by the victim (plaintiff) |
| Focus on punishing the offender | Focus on compensating the victim |
| Possible jail time or sex registry | No incarceration—only monetary/injunctive relief |
| Victim may have limited involvement | Victim is the plaintiff and controls the process |
We often work in tandem with criminal investigations, but even if no arrest is made, you may still pursue civil remedies. The burden of proof in civil cases is lower, meaning we can often win damages even if there is no criminal conviction.
In many voyeurism incidents, third parties—not just the individual perpetrator—may be civilly liable. Examples include:
Hotels, gyms, or rental properties that fail to secure private areas
Employers who allow a hostile or dangerous work environment
Schools or universities that neglect complaints or fail to monitor staff
Landlords who install surveillance in bathrooms or bedrooms
A skilled voyeurism lawyer from Slater | Grant will investigate all potentially liable parties and uncover whether there was negligence, complicity, or institutional cover-up that contributed to your harm.
Time is critical in any voyeurism case. If you suspect you’ve been recorded or observed unlawfully:
Document everything: Write down dates, times, and suspicious behaviors.
Save all communication: Texts, emails, or messages referencing the incident.
Preserve digital evidence: Videos, photos, or links should be safely archived.
Avoid confronting the suspect: Let your lawyer handle all contact.
Our team collaborates with forensic experts, digital analysts, and investigators to gather critical evidence and preserve your claim for trial or settlement negotiations.
Voyeurism is not a harmless or victimless act. Victims often endure:
Long-term anxiety and PTSD
Sleep disturbances and depression
Shame, isolation, and loss of trust
Disruption in careers, education, and relationships
You deserve more than an apology or a criminal charge—you deserve to reclaim your dignity and pursue financial justice through a powerful civil lawsuit.
At Slater | Grant, we bring compassion, discretion, and elite legal skill to every voyeurism case. As your voyeurism lawyer, we will:
Handle all legal filings and deadlines
Negotiate aggressively with insurers and opposing counsel
Fight for every dollar you are entitled to
Keep your identity confidential throughout the process
Provide strategic guidance in both settlement and trial options
You don’t need to navigate this alone. Whether you’ve just discovered the violation or are ready to take legal action, we are here to protect your rights—and your future.
