Survivors of sexual abuse often face steep costs related to medical bills, therapy, lost wages, and more. You may be entitled to compensation for economic and non-economic damages such as:
Sexual abuse often results in physical injuries requiring immediate medical treatment and ongoing care. Survivors may be entitled to compensation for all medical expenses related to the abuse, including hospital bills, doctor visits, surgeries, medications, and physical therapy. Additionally, many survivors need funds to cover anticipated future medical costs for chronic conditions stemming from the abuse.
The emotional trauma of sexual abuse can be profound and long-lasting. Survivors frequently require extensive professional counseling and therapy to process the abuse and develop coping strategies. Compensation for mental health expenses is essential, as these services can be costly but are important for the healing process.
Experiencing sexual abuse can impact a survivor’s ability to work in the short-term and long-term. Some may need to take time off to attend medical appointments and court proceedings or to focus on their mental health. Others may be unable to return to their job due to the psychological effects of the trauma. Survivors can seek compensation for the income they’ve lost as a direct result of the abuse.
The physical pain endured during incidents of sexual abuse can be severe, but the suffering extends far beyond the assaults themselves. Sexual abuse survivors often experience chronic pain conditions, such as headaches, pelvic pain, and gastrointestinal distress. They may recover compensation for the ongoing physical anguish and limitations stemming from the abuse.
Sexual abuse inflicts deep emotional wounds that can persist for years. Survivors frequently struggle with anxiety, depression, PTSD, shame, anger, and difficulty with trust and intimacy. Placing a dollar figure on emotional distress is challenging, but this element of damages recognizes the immense psychological impact of sexual abuse.
Sexual abuse survivors may feel their lives were derailed and forever changed. The trauma can affect relationships, career prospects, and the ability to find joy and fulfillment. Compensation for loss of enjoyment of life acknowledges the overall harm the abuse has inflicted on the survivor’s quality of life.
In sexual abuse cases involving particularly egregious or malicious conduct, the court may award punitive damages to punish the perpetrator and send a strong societal message against such reprehensible acts. Punitive damages go beyond compensating the survivor to deter similar behavior.
At TopDog Law, we know that no amount of money can erase the trauma you’ve suffered, but securing fair compensation can provide vital support and a sense of justice as you heal. Our attorneys will thoroughly assess your case to determine the full extent of the damages you’re owed.
Tragically, sexual abuse remains all too common in Texas. According to recent statistics, one in six women and one in 33 men are raped at some point in their lives. Nearly 44% of women and 25% of men have experienced other forms of sexual violence. Children are particularly vulnerable, with one in four girls and one in six boys becoming victims of sexual abuse before age 18.
Sexual abuse can occur anywhere, including schools, workplaces, medical facilities, and youth-serving organizations. Some of the most egregious cases in Texas have involved teachers exploiting students, doctors assaulting patients, and clergy abusing children in their care. No matter where or how the abuse happened, those responsible must be held accountable.
