Human Trafficking Lawsuits
You Are Not Alone — We’re Here to Help You Find Justice
Human trafficking is a horrific crime that destroys lives. Survivors are now coming forward to hold accountable the individuals, corporations, hotels, and online platforms that allowed or benefited from trafficking activity.
If you or a loved one is a survivor of sex trafficking or labor trafficking, you may have the right to seek financial compensation and justice through a civil lawsuit.
Associates Law Center is here to help survivors rebuild their lives and hold wrongdoers accountable.
You May Be Eligible for Compensation
Understanding Human Trafficking
Human trafficking happens when people are forced, tricked, or pressured into working or performing sexual acts against their will.
Victims can be adults or children, often controlled through threats, lies, violence, or financial dependence.
Trafficking can occur almost anywhere — in hotels, online, or through travel networks — and many large companies have been accused of ignoring warning signs or even profiting from this exploitation.
Who Can Be Held Liable?
Recent lawsuits have named major hotel chains, websites, and other corporations for allegedly enabling or ignoring human trafficking on their properties or platforms.
Companies That Have Been Accused Include:
Hotels & Hospitality Brands: Marriott, Hilton, Wyndham, Red Roof Inn, Choice Hotels, Motel 6
Online Platforms: Meta (Facebook, Instagram), Craigslist, Backpage (now closed), and others accused of facilitating exploitation online
Transportation Providers: Airlines, bus companies, and ride-share services that allegedly failed to report or prevent trafficking indicators
These lawsuits claim that companies profited from trafficking activities, ignored warning signs, and failed to train staff or implement prevention policies.
You May Be Eligible to File a Claim If:
You are a survivor of sex or labor trafficking.
You were trafficked or exploited at a hotel, motel, online platform, or other business location.
The company or organization knew or should have known that trafficking was occurring.
You want to seek justice, accountability, and financial compensation for the harm you endured.
Victims may pursue claims under federal and state anti-trafficking laws, including the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA), which allows survivors to sue entities that knowingly benefit from trafficking.
Compensation May Include:
Medical and mental health treatment costs
Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
Lost income or future earning capacity
Punitive damages against responsible companies
Have you or someone you love suffered from human trafficking or exploitation?

Who Will Answer When I Contact Associates Law Center?
At Associates Law Center, we take pride in providing exceptional client service from the very first call. Most inquiries are initially answered by our talented reception team, who ensure every caller is promptly directed to the right resource.

Will I need to pay anything upfront?
At Associates Law Center, most of our cases are handled on a contingency fee basis. This means you don’t pay any upfront fees—we only get paid if we successfully secure financial compensation for you through a settlement or trial verdict. Our fee is typically a percentage of the total recovery, ensuring our interests are fully aligned with yours.
Before moving forward, every client receives a retainer agreement that clearly explains how the contingency fee works, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
I’ve Just Signed My Retainer — What Happens From Here?
Once you’ve signed a retainer agreement with Associates Law Center, our firm officially becomes your legal representative. The next step is to gather all relevant information about your case so we can begin building a strong foundation for your claim.
In most cases, this involves signing authorization forms that allow our team to communicate with and obtain records from third parties—such as your doctors, hospitals, or other institutions—on your behalf. This ensures we have the documentation and details needed to advocate effectively for your case.
