MassageLuxe Lawsuit
If a massage therapist assaulted you at a MassageLuXe spa, you may be able to hold the company and the location accountable. We can help you understand your options, privately and at your pace.
Understanding Your Rights
If you were assaulted at a MassageLuXe spa, you can bring a civil claim against the company
You do not have to prove a criminal case or wait for a conviction to file a civil lawsuit. A MassageLuXe lawsuit is a separate legal action that asks the franchise, the local spa, and sometimes the therapist to take financial responsibility for the harm you experienced. Survivors across the country have filed these claims after assaults during massage appointments.
A civil claim is about you, not about punishment for someone else. It can recover money for therapy, lost income, and the lasting impact on your life, and it can force a company to change how it screens and supervises the people it puts behind closed doors with clients. You stay in control of how far the claim goes and what gets shared.
Time limits do apply, and they vary by state. Many states have recently expanded or reopened the window to file. A free, confidential call simply tells you where you stand — no pressure, no obligation.

Company Accountability
How is MassageLuXe held responsible?
MassageLuXe operates as a national franchise, which means responsibility can reach beyond a single therapist. When a spa places someone alone in a private room with a client and removes that client's clothing and ability to react, the business has a duty to make that environment safe. A lawsuit examines where that duty failed.
- Negligent hiring and background checks. Survivors have alleged that spas hired therapists without adequate screening — in one Virginia case, women said a location hired a man with a prior record before he assaulted them.
- Ignored complaints and warning signs. Claims in Missouri allege the company knew about prior misconduct at other locations and failed to act, allowing the same pattern to continue.
- Failure to supervise behind closed doors. The franchise model puts therapists alone with clients; lawsuits ask whether the spa had real oversight, room policies, and a way for clients to report harm.
- Mishandled or covered-up reports. Survivors have accused locations of downplaying complaints instead of removing the therapist and notifying authorities.
- Franchise-level oversight failures. A national brand sets standards for its locations; claims question whether MassageLuXe enforced safe hiring and reporting across its franchises.

Your Questions
MassageLuXe lawsuit questions, answered
Can I sue MassageLuXe the company, not just the therapist?
Yes. In many cases survivors can bring a civil claim against the local spa and the franchise, in addition to or instead of the individual. The company can be held responsible for negligent hiring, poor supervision, ignored complaints, or mishandled reports. A lawyer reviews the specific location and ownership to identify every responsible party.
What does a MassageLuXe assault lawsuit cost me?
Nothing upfront. These cases are handled on a contingency basis, which means you pay no hourly fees and no retainer. The attorney is paid a percentage only if your case results in a recovery. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fee. The first conversation is free and confidential.
Do I need a police report to file a civil claim?
No. A police report can help, but it is not required to bring a civil lawsuit. Civil and criminal cases are separate, and you can pursue a civil claim even if you never reported to police or if charges were never filed. Your account and the available evidence are what matter.
How long do I have to file a MassageLuXe lawsuit?
Deadlines, called statutes of limitations, vary by state and by the details of your case. Some states have expanded the time survivors have to come forward. Because these windows differ and can be missed, it is worth confirming your specific deadline early. A short, no-pressure call can tell you where you stand.
What compensation can a MassageLuXe case recover?
A civil claim can seek compensation for counseling and medical care, lost wages, and the emotional impact of what happened, including pain, anxiety, and loss of trust. Some cases also seek damages meant to hold a company accountable. The right figure depends on your circumstances, not a formula.
Will my MassageLuXe case be kept confidential?
Your privacy is a priority from the first call onward. Initial conversations are confidential, and many cases resolve without a public trial. Settlements can include confidentiality terms. Your lawyer will explain what stays private and let you decide how much you are comfortable sharing.
What if my assault happened a few years ago?
You may still have options. Many survivors do not come forward right away, and the law recognizes that. Depending on your state and when the abuse occurred, the filing window may still be open. The only way to know is to have someone review the dates against your state's rules.
What if other people were assaulted at the same spa?
That can strengthen a case. A pattern of complaints at one location, or similar incidents at other MassageLuXe spas, supports claims that the company knew of a risk and failed to act. Your lawyer can investigate prior reports and connect related claims while protecting your privacy.
