Your Legal Rights as a Survivor of Sexual Abuse
If you or a loved one has been a victim of sexual abuse, you have the right to seek justice through both criminal and civil actions. In civil court, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit against the abuser or the institutions that allowed the abuse to occur. Compensation in a sexual abuse case may include:
- Medical expenses: Coverage for any medical or psychological treatment needed due to the abuse.
- Pain and suffering: Compensation for the emotional trauma, anxiety, depression, or PTSD caused by the abuse.
- Loss of quality of life: Damages for the impact the abuse has had on your ability to live a normal life.
- Lost wages: Compensation for time missed from work or loss of earning capacity due to the abuse.
- Punitive damages: In some cases, additional damages may be awarded to punish the abuser or negligent institutions for their misconduct.
Holding Institutions Accountable
In many cases, institutions such as schools, churches, nursing homes, or businesses may be liable for allowing the abuse to happen by failing to prevent, investigate, or stop the abuse. These organizations can be held accountable for:
- Failing to conduct background checks on employees, volunteers, or staff members who have access to vulnerable individuals.
- Neglecting to act on reports of abuse or allegations made by victims.
- Providing inadequate supervision or failing to implement policies that protect individuals from abuse.
