It costs absolutely nothing to see if you have a case
No amount of money can erase the trauma of sexual abuse, but pursuing a civil lawsuit can help survivors obtain the resources they need to heal and rebuild their lives. Compensation in sexual abuse cases may include:
Sexual abuse often results in physical injuries that require medical attention. Survivors may need to undergo medical exams, tests, and treatments to address issues such as sexually transmitted infections (STIs), pregnancy, or physical trauma.
These medical expenses can quickly add up, especially if ongoing care is needed. Compensation for medical expenses can help survivors get the care they need without worrying about the financial burden.
The emotional and psychological impact of sexual abuse can be severe and long-lasting. Many survivors benefit from therapy and counseling to help them process their trauma and develop coping strategies. However, the cost of mental health services can be a barrier for many people.
Compensation for therapy and counseling costs can ensure that survivors have access to the support they need to heal and move forward.
Sexual abuse can affect a survivor’s ability to work, either due to physical injuries or the emotional trauma of the abuse.
Survivors may need to take time off work to attend medical appointments, therapy sessions, or court hearings. In some cases, the impact of the abuse may be so severe that the survivor is unable to return to work for an extended period of time.
Compensation for lost wages can help survivors maintain financial stability while they focus on their recovery.
The pain and suffering caused by sexual abuse cannot be overstated. Survivors may experience a wide range of emotions, including fear, anger, shame, and depression.
The trauma of the abuse can impact every aspect of a survivor’s life, from their relationships to their sense of self-worth. While no amount of money can erase this pain, compensation for pain and suffering can acknowledge the profound impact of the abuse and provide resources for healing.
In some cases, courts may award punitive damages in sexual abuse lawsuits. Punitive damages are intended to punish the perpetrator for their actions and deter others from engaging in similar behavior.
Punitive damages can also send a message to institutions that have failed to protect victims or have covered up abuse. While not available in every case, punitive damages can provide a sense of justice and accountability for survivors.
Sexual abuse can take many forms, including:
Rape and sexual assault involve non-consensual sexual contact, often through the use of force, coercion, or incapacitation. These crimes can occur between strangers, acquaintances, or even intimate partners.
Survivors of rape and sexual assault may experience physical injuries, sexually transmitted infections, and profound emotional trauma.
Child sexual abuse involves any sexual activity with a minor, including touching, fondling, or penetration. Perpetrators of child sexual abuse often use their position of power or trust to groom and manipulate their victims.
Child sexual abuse can have lifelong impacts on survivors, including difficulty with relationships, substance abuse, and mental health issues.
Incest involves sexual activity between family members, such as siblings, parents, and children, or grandparents and grandchildren. Incest is a form of child sexual abuse that often involves complex dynamics of power, control, and secrecy within families.
Survivors of incest may struggle with feelings of shame, guilt, and betrayal, as well as difficulty trusting others.
Sexual harassment involves unwanted sexual advances, comments, or conduct in the workplace, school, or other professional settings. Sexual harassment in workplace can create a hostile environment and have serious consequences for victims and organizations alike.
Sexual harassment can include quid pro quo harassment, where sexual favors are requested in exchange for employment benefits, or hostile work environment harassment, where the harassment is severe or pervasive enough to create an intimidating or offensive work environment.
Survivors of sexual harassment may experience anxiety, depression, and difficulty advancing in their careers.
Stalking involves a pattern of behavior that causes fear or emotional distress in the victim, such as following, monitoring, or threatening the victim. Stalkers may use technology, such as GPS tracking or social media, to keep tabs on their victims.
Stalking can occur in person or online and may escalate to physical violence if left unchecked. Survivors of stalking may feel constantly on edge and may need to take steps to protect their safety and privacy.
Voyeurism involves observing others in a private or sexual context without their knowledge or consent, often for the purpose of sexual gratification. This can include peeping through windows, using hidden cameras, or taking photos or videos without permission. Survivors of voyeurism may feel violated and exposed and may struggle with feelings of paranoia or hypervigilance.
Exhibitionism involves exposing one’s genitals to others without their consent, often in public places. Exhibitionists may derive sexual pleasure from the shock or discomfort of their victims.
Victims of exhibitionism may feel disgusted, fearful, or angry and may avoid certain places or situations as a result of their experience.
