At our law firm, you will receive the confidentiality and support you need in a sexual abuse case. The abusers are often people with authority or power over vulnerable people—someone who works with children, a step-parent, a caretaker in a group home or nursing home, a doctor or therapist.

• If you are the victim of child sexual abuse, you can file a lawsuit at any time within eight years of your eighteenth birthday. It is best to file as soon as possible so that memories and evidence are as fresh as possible.
• If a loved one has suffered sexual abuse in a nursing home, we want to know about it. A vulnerable person deserves to live with dignity. If you see signs of sex abuse, take immediate steps to get legal help to stop the abuse.
• Mentally ill and developmentally challenged people are vulnerable and may not fully understand what is happening to them. If you suspect sexual abuse, talk to an attorney about the victim's rights.
• In sex abuse cases, our attorneys name the abuser as the defendant as well as others who allowed the abuse. In a priest abuse case, for example, we would name the priest, minister, or rabbi, as well as the church, diocese, and officials. In a nursing home sex abuse case, we would sue the abuser as well as the nursing home. In a school case, our lawsuit would name the school, school authorities, and the abuser.

Do not lose your right to sue. There are statutes of limitations on sexual abuse claims. You have 6 months to give notice from the date of the accident. By filing a claim quickly, you will protect those rights. Contact a personal injury lawyer to discuss your case. The consultation is free. All of our fees for injury cases are contingency based: You owe no attorney fees unless we recover funds for you.
