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.
How Can a Sexual Abuse Lawyer in Georgia Help?
An attorney can assist with all your legal needs if you experience sexual abuse. You can rely on us to:
Investigate Acts of Sexual Abuse
We can investigate to collect evidence and build a strong case on your behalf. We use several investigative strategies that we adapt to meet the needs of each client. We may:
- Collect witness statements if someone saw the abuse
- Get copies of your medical records
- Take your personal testimony
We can analyze all the evidence related to the abuse, establishing the exact actions of your abuser so we can hold them responsible.

How Long do You Have to File a Sexual Abuse Claim?
The time available to file a lawsuit after an act of sexual abuse can vary. Typically, adults have two years to move forward with a claim for compensation, but the court may give you significantly more time if you experience child sexual abuse.
You can speak to a lawyer about the time available in your situation before the statute of limitations expires.
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.
