Victims of sexual abuse can face life-altering physical, mental, and emotional struggles. Their struggles may affect many parts of their life, perhaps limiting their participation in even daily activities.
Medical care is important, as victims should have treatment for both physical and mental conditions from the abuse. Even with treatment, the pain of suffering abuse can persist for a long time and become quite costly, both financially and emotionally.
If you were a victim, you should not be facing extreme costs. Our Michigan sexual abuse lawyer at TopDog Law is here to provide sexual abuse victims with the legal representation they deserve.
It costs absolutely nothing to see if you have a case
Sexual abuse is a traumatic experience, and it can be challenging to talk about the situation or look into your legal options. While these cases have a criminal element, you can also take civil action to seek justice. Victims should recover compensation for the damages they suffer. It can be different in every case.
Our personal injury lawyer in Michigan has the training and skills to listen to your story and be respectful and empathic to your situation.
We are here to guide you through the legal process. TopDog Law will work to get you the compensation you need for your physical and emotional injuries. We will investigate and fight your case in every manner possible.
Even when your physical injuries heal, the emotional trauma can stay forever. Having a firm sensitive to these issues is crucial. We provide completely free and confidential consultation with a compassionate attorney.
Sexual abuse is a crime that has many effects on victims. In recent years, many perpetrators of these crimes have come into the spotlight and faced the criminal consequences of their actions. They should also be civilly liable for the harm they caused to victims.
Children, teenagers, and college students are at a disproportionately higher risk of suffering this abuse than other groups of people. You often hear about sexual abuse happening on college campuses.
However, abuse can occur in other circumstances, such as:
The Crimes Against Children Research Center reports that one in 12 children will experience sexual abuse. Such abuse should not define a child’s life. Our Michigan sexual abuse attorney can seek justice by filing a lawsuit against the person who committed the abuse and the institute that employed them when possible.
You may think that sexual abuse usually happens when a stranger takes advantage of a person. Sadly, statistics show that sexual abuse typically happens from someone the victim knows.
This can be a:
Further, the misconduct involved can vary from case to case.
Here are some examples of sexual abuse in Michigan:
These are some examples, but this is not an exhaustive list. Essentially, any sexual act that happens without the consent of two adults can be considered sexual abuse.
There are extreme costs and life-changing consequences for victims. The CDCÂ estimates that the lifetime care costs for a victim can be hundreds of thousands of dollars. Many victims will never fully trust people again without extensive therapy. Sexual abuse can also impact school performance, your job, relationships, and general behavior.
You may see noticeable changes in victims, such as:
Some physical signs of sexual abuse can be similar to other personal injury cases, such as:
Physical signs do not have to be present for sexual abuse. They can be additional signs, but a lack of physical signs does not eliminate your right to take legal action. Discuss your case confidentially with our sexual abuse lawyer in Michigan from TopDog Law.
TopDog Law understands that no amount of money will change what has transpired. You are forever changed. However, financial compensation can cover your expenses and hold the perpetrator financially responsible for the damage they inflicted.
A sexual abuse lawyer in Michigan can pursue compensation for:
As a parent, it can be challenging to know that your child suffered such a traumatic experience. They are minors who might not understand or can take legal action themselves. However, filing a civil case against the abuser can get your child a semblance of justice. It may even provide closure for your child and family.
Review your options with a Michigan sexual abuse attorney. Filing for minor children is very complex, as various statutory deadlines may apply.
If you are an adult and suffer from sexual abuse, then you should report the incident to the institution where it happened. If the abuse occurred while at university, then you should report it to campus security.
You may also want to report it to the police. Sometimes, authorities may sweep these complaints under the rug. However, TopDog Law will ensure that you receive the respect you deserve.
You should get all the medical treatment offered and required for your injuries. You will also want to document other effects meticulously.
Did you change the way you dress? What activities do you no longer participate in? Are you experiencing depression or anxiety? Any changes you experience, you should write in a journal. This can benefit both your health and your sexual abuse lawsuit.
When you are ready, seek a free case evaluation with TopDog Law. During an initial consultation, our Michigan sexual abuse attorney will discuss your options and start an investigation. We handle every sexual abuse case with the care and respect it deserves, so please call today at (313) 751-9628.
