Reports indicate that about 42 million survivors of sexual abuse live in the U.S. About one-fourth of girls and one-sixth of boys suffer some degree of sexual abuse, and 50 percent of abusers are someone outside the child’s family but whom the child knows and trusts. Often, sexual abusers are mentors, teachers, or group leaders of the child.
Sexual abuse can happen in many settings, including school, church, work, or youth-based institutions. No matter where it occurs, such abuse can leave severe and lasting physical and emotional injuries to victims.
Abusers and organizations that fail to prevent abuse should be fully accountable for the harm abuse victims suffer. It can be difficult to revisit abuse, but taking legal action can provide financial support and greater justice for victims.
At TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers, our compassionate Atlanta sexual abuse lawyers provide compassionate representation for victims. We will listen to your story and assess your legal options. Contact us today.
It costs absolutely nothing to see if you have a case
Many personal injury firms around Atlanta might offer representation in sexual abuse cases, but they might not know how to address the painful and delicate details of these cases. You need an attorney who can handle sensitive cases while providing the aggressive representation you need.
At TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers, our team members have overcome adversity in our own lives, bouncing back from dark times with the right help. We are now here to help sexual abuse survivors like you or your child seek justice. Consult with our team to learn more about the services we can provide for you.
Sexual abuse inflicts not only physical wounds but also profound and lasting mental injuries on survivors. The consequences of such trauma are complex and can have a significant impact on every aspect of a survivor’s life.
Sexual abuse can result in a range of physical injuries, varying in severity based on the nature of the abuse. These injuries may include bruises, cuts, abrasions, and soreness in areas of the body affected during the abuse. More serious physical trauma might involve internal injuries, broken bones, or damage to reproductive organs.
Some survivors also contract sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or experience complications related to reproductive health. These physical injuries can serve as painful reminders of the trauma and contribute to ongoing health concerns.
The psychological toll of sexual abuse can be equally, if not more, devastating.
Survivors often experience a wide range of mental injuries, including:
Addressing both the physical and mental injuries from sexual abuse requires a comprehensive approach. Treatment can be costly and severely impact a victim’s life.
As a sexual abuse survivor, you should never have to cover treatment costs. You also deserve relief for the intangible pain and suffering you experienced. Our Atlanta sexual abuse attorneys seek maximum compensation for survivors, and we can assess how much your claim might be worth.
Sexual abuse is a criminal offense and a civil wrong. Criminal sexual abuse charges and civil sexual abuse lawsuits are distinct legal processes that address offenses involving sexual misconduct, but they serve different purposes and involve separate legal proceedings.
The state or government pursues criminal charges for sexual abuse against an accused individual. The primary objective of criminal cases is to punish the offender for their unlawful conduct.
If convicted, the accused may face consequences such as imprisonment, probation, fines, mandatory counseling, and inclusion on a sex offender registry. Unfortunately, criminal cases often inadequately address the harm survivors suffered.
On the other hand, survivors initiate civil sexual abuse lawsuits in pursuit of financial compensation for the harm they suffered due to the abuse. The focus of civil cases is on seeking justice for the survivor by holding the perpetrator accountable through monetary damages rather than criminal penalties.
When you meet with a member of our team, we will gently ask questions and listen to your story. The information you provide will help us best assess your options.
First, we identify who you can hold liable for the sexual abuse. You might assume you will file a claim against your abuser, but other parties might share liability.
For example, if a teacher abused you, the school district often shares liability, just like a church can share liability for abuse by a clergy member. You may hold youth organizations liable, as evidenced by the 82,000 victims expecting settlements from the Boy Scouts of America lawsuit.
Once we identify liable parties, we prepare and file claims on your behalf. We can begin with an insurance claim if there are available policies or with a lawsuit in civil court.
Either avenue aims to obtain compensation for your losses, including:
We know no amount of money can turn back time and stop what happened to you, but receiving payment from abusers and institutions that allowed it to occur can help you move forward in a better emotional position.
The legal process should bring you no stress as we handle every aspect of the process. You will not have to speak with insurers or defend your position alone. We are standing behind you to seek justice.
If you suffered sexual abuse and the injuries that come with it, TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers is on your side. We fight for the underdog against major companies and organizations and will fight for you.
The deadlines for sexual abuse claims in Georgia are confusing, depend on your circumstances, and are regularly changing in recent years. Never risk missing the statute of limitations in your case. Contact our firm today at (404) 620-4059 to discuss your claim with our Atlanta personal injury attorneys.
