Answers to Common Questions About Sexual Abuse Claims

Survivors often have questions about sexual abuse lawsuits. This section explains how claims are handled and the steps that can support recovery through the legal process.

What legal options are available to survivors of sexual abuse beyond the criminal process?

Criminal charges punish an offender, but they don’t provide survivors with the resources to rebuild. A civil lawsuit is different because it focuses on accountability and compensation. Survivors can bring claims against the individual who harmed them and, in some cases, against the institutions that ignored warning signs. Our attorneys can explain your legal rights and support you through every step of the process, getting you the compensation you need to cover the costs of therapy, treatment, and other needs tied to recovery.

How does a sexual abuse attorney protect survivors’ privacy during a lawsuit?

Good question. We understand that privacy is one of the greatest concerns for survivors. Our lawyers take deliberate steps to protect sensitive information, such as requesting that names remain confidential in public records whenever possible. We also manage communication with the court and the opposing side so survivors aren’t repeatedly exposed to retraumatizing questions. We’re here to make you feel supported while getting you the justice you deserve.

What types of damages may be available in a sexual abuse lawsuit, including therapy costs and lost income?

A civil lawsuit can provide survivors with financial resources that make recovery less overwhelming. That may include covering the cost of therapy or other medical treatment and replacing income that was lost when the trauma made it hard to keep working. Our attorneys build these cases by showing the real impact abuse has had on a person’s life, and fight to make sure compensation reflects both current needs and the support survivors will require in the future.

How do attorneys hold institutions accountable for enabling or ignoring abuse?

When abuse happens inside an organization, it’s not just the person who caused the harm who may be responsible. Schools, churches, treatment centers, and other institutions can face claims if they failed to act on warning signs or looked the other way. Our legal team digs into how leaders responded when concerns were raised and whether basic protections were ignored. By uncovering these failures, we can push for accountability that reaches beyond the abuser, showing how the system itself created the conditions for abuse to continue.

What is the statute of limitations for filing a sexual abuse claim, and are there exceptions?

The deadline to file a sexual abuse claim is different in every state, and in recent years many states have given survivors more time to come forward. This change recognizes that it often takes years before someone is ready to take legal action. Our attorneys review each case to see what deadlines apply and whether exceptions are possible. Even if the abuse happened long ago, survivors may still have the right to file, and our lawyers can help make sure that chance isn’t lost.

Can wrongful death lawsuits be filed if abuse leads to suicide or fatal complications?

Definitely. When abuse contributes to suicide or serious medical problems that end in death, families can bring a wrongful death lawsuit. These cases give families the chance to ask hard questions and uncover the truth about what happened. It also provides an opportunity to get accountability in a public way. Our firm builds these claims carefully, connecting the abuse to the loss and showing how it changed the family’s future. While no lawsuit can replace what was taken, it can provide financial support for expenses and bring a measure of recognition that the loss was not just a private tragedy but a preventable failure.
