When Can a Sexual Abuse Attorney Help You?

You have a right to take legal action after any act of sexual abuse. We understand the emotional and mental challenges associated with taking action against someone who abused you at church, school, or in another setting.

Fortunately, you can turn to a professional lawyer to support you and provide the compassionate guidance you need in this challenging time. Sexual abuse often involves some form of sexual assault, and we can help you if:

  • You experienced non-consensual sexual touching
  • Someone exposed you to sexually explicit material as a minor
  • Someone groped you or attempted to rape you

We’re ready to discuss your legal options for recovering monetary compensation for childhood sexual abuse or other forms of misconduct when you contact us for assistance.

What Damages do You Get from a Sexual Abuse Claim?

Your sexual abuse lawyer in Georgia can help you secure financial compensation from the liable party. Our team focuses on bringing clients funds for:

Their Medical Expenses

Acts of sexual abuse sometimes result in physical injuries. You may require emergency treatment or hospitalization. Your lawyer can secure damages for all of these expenses and address the costs of medications and therapy.

Their Lost Income

You may need time off work to recover from an act of sexual abuse. Our team can track your lost pay and factor it into your claim. We also help clients who need funds to cover their diminished earning potential.

Their Emotional Suffering

We understand the emotional and mental impacts of sexual abuse and believe you deserve financial compensation for your pain and suffering. We can discuss how this abuse impacted your mental health when you contact us for help.

Punitive Damages

Georgia allows some individuals who have experienced sexual abuse to seek punitive damages. Punitive damages do not directly cover the losses caused by sexual abuse. Instead, they punish the individual who abused you.

Will a Criminal Trial Impact Your Civil Claim?

The individual who abused you may face criminal charges as well as your civil claim. The two court systems do not directly impact one another. A conviction in criminal court could result in jail time for your abuser.

Your civil claim may help you receive compensation to cover your losses. When you contact us for help, you can learn more about both cases.
