According to the Illinois Coalition Against Sexual Assault, about 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men will experience some form of sexual violence during their lifetimes. In Illinois alone, a study from more than a decade ago estimated that at least 930,000 survivors of extreme sexual violence were currently living in the state. However, we also know that since this time, the number of reported sexual assault cases has also declined drastically, meaning that the true toll of these violent actions is likely much higher than we can know.
At TopDog Law, we are committed to not only seeing that individuals get the compensation they deserve through legal avenues to justice, but also that the health of our communities at large is protected. When we advocate for you, we stand with all survivors.
We understand that after a traumatic event, it can be challenging to entrust such sensitive matters to someone else’s discretion. Our sexual abuse attorneys are trained to handle your information sensitively while leaving no stone unturned in the pursuit for compensation and resolution.
We will meticulously gather evidence, liaise with law enforcement, ensure that statutes of limitations are adhered to, and craft a compelling case that highlights the extent of the trauma and its repercussions. With their adept knowledge of Illinois laws, these attorneys can challenge any attempts to downplay or dismiss the gravity of the abuse, ensuring that perpetrators and any complicit entities are held accountable.
Our team can also connect survivors with therapeutic resources, counseling, and support groups, ensuring a holistic approach to recovery. Our dedication extends beyond securing compensation; it encompasses facilitating healing, restoring dignity, and ensuring survivors are empowered in their pursuit of justice. By standing with a skilled attorney, you can confidently navigate the legal system, knowing you are not alone in your quest for justice and closure.
Sexual abuse can occur in various settings, and the perpetrators might be individuals or even larger institutions that have either directly inflicted harm or been complicit through negligence or cover-ups. While individual perpetrators may be directly responsible for the act, institutions may be held liable for their negligence, failure to supervise, or for not taking appropriate action upon becoming aware of the abuse. At TopDog Law, we delve deep into the circumstances surrounding each case, ensuring that all accountable parties are brought to justice, offering survivors the closure they deserve.
Some of the entities and individuals that you can hold accountable include:
Survivors of sexual abuse may be entitled to compensation that reflects both the tangible and intangible damages they’ve experienced. The trauma of such incidents often extends far beyond the immediate event, having long-term implications on one’s life.
Some types of compensation we can help you seek include:
While no amount of compensation can truly erase the trauma of sexual abuse, it can significantly aid in the healing process, cover necessary expenses, and provide a sense of justice and acknowledgment for the survivor. At TopDog Law, we’re committed to ensuring survivors receive every penny they deserve.
For survivors of childhood sexual abuse, Ilinois has eliminated the statute of limitations for civil claims related to their abuse. This significant legal shift means that regardless of how much time has passed since the incident or the current age of the survivor, they retain the right to seek civil redress.
For legal adults, the amount of time you have to pursue a personal injury lawsuit may vary based on the circumstances of your specific case. Regardless of the age of the abused, you should seek guidance from a qualified sexual abuse attorney to ensure your rights are fully protected.
