What’s Your Case Worth? (877) 541-1203
The aftereffects of sexual abuse can be devastating, leading to emotional trauma, physical injuries, and financial losses. While taking legal action through the police is encouraged, criminal cases rarely compensate for most of a victim’s losses.

If you or your child was a victim, never wait to seek a free and confidential consultation with an Oakland sexual abuse lawyer. But where do you find the right experienced and compassionate lawyer to handle your case? Look no further than the legal network of TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers.

Personal injury law in California gives you the right to seek compensation for injuries and losses you suffer due to another party’s conduct. While most people think of car accidents or slip and falls when it comes to personal injury claims, sexual abuse victims can exercise these rights to seek compensation for the harm they suffered from an abuser.
While no amount of money can turn back time and reverse what happened, maximum compensation can provide support and justice. The value of your case depends on the nature of your losses and how well your attorney can provide evidence to substantiate your claims. To find out what your case is worth, request a free consultation from a lawyer in the TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers network now.
In California, sexual abuse can refer to many types of unlawful and inappropriate sexual touching or other conduct. It can happen to children or adults in many settings. It may occur to seniors in nursing homes, children in school, or young adults on college campuses.
Often, there is an institution or organization that played a part in allowing sexual abuse to happen by a member, such as the Boy Scouts or Catholic Church. This can be important, as individual abusers likely do not have the funds or insurance coverage to fully compensate victims.
Some examples of sexual abuse at issue in civil claims include:
Religious organizations, school districts, government agencies, Boy and Girl Scout organizations, and numerous other such organizations may be held to blame for the sexual abuse their members or leaders caused. The complexity of these cases warrants the representation of an experienced Oakland sexual abuse attorney.
At TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers, you can become connected with the legal support and guidance you need without having to interview many different lawyers and tell your painful story over and over.
You may not be sure that you have a case for civil action. However, if you suffered injuries like any of the following, it is critical that you allow a trusted and experienced attorney to evaluate your rights:
You might have bills from medical and psychological treatment, lost income if you missed work, or other expenses if your child had to switch schools or take time off. You deserve full compensation for every injury and loss.
Even though sexual abuse is a serious and traumatic matter, insurance companies may do all they can to minimize your compensation. They may pressure you to settle for too little or deny their responsibility to cover your losses. Avoid these outcomes by working with an Oakland sexual abuse attorney ready to fight for you. You deserve reliable legal representation in these difficult times, and the right attorney will handle the process for you.
Those suffering sexual abuse should always report what happened to law enforcement and prioritize their health and well-being. From there, you also have the right to seek out legal support and guidance from an attorney ready to work with you. Getting legal guidance from an attorney as soon as possible can be critical to preserving evidence in your case.
At the same time, now is a good time to start a journal to document what occurred, how it impacts your health and life, and the challenges you are facing as a direct result of these injuries. Seek out comprehensive legal support throughout this process.
