  • Sexual Assault: A person engages in unwanted sexual contact or behavior without explicit consent, such as groping, fondling, or forced kissing.

  • Child Pornography: Someone produces, distributes, or possesses images or videos that sexually exploit children.

  • Unwanted Advances: An individual repeatedly makes unwelcome sexual advances or propositions.

  • Quid Pro Quo: A person demands sexual favors in exchange for job benefits, promotions, or protection.

  • Hostile Environment: An individual creates an intimidating, offensive, or hostile work or learning space through sexual jokes, gestures, or comments.

  • Sex Trafficking: A trafficker forces, deceives, or coerces someone into sexual acts for profit.

  • Cyberstalking: Someone uses the internet to harass, threaten, or intimidate another person with sexual messages or content.

  • Revenge Porn: An individual shares intimate images or videos of someone without their consent to cause harm or humiliation.

What is A Sexual Abuse Claim Worth?

The value of a sexual abuse claim can vary significantly based on numerous factors, including the severity and duration of the abuse, the impact on the victim’s life, and the jurisdiction in which the claim is filed. Our attorneys will evaluate the worth of your potential claim based on such factors as:

  • Statute of Limitations: Each State has a specific statute of limitations that may bar the filing of a lawsuit. Find out what the statute of limitation in your state is by clicking the link Statute of Limitations & Sex Abuse Acts by State
  • Severity and Duration of the Abuse: The more severe and prolonged the abuse, the higher the potential compensation.
  •  Impact on the Victim: The psychological, emotional, and physical impact on the victim is crucial. This often requires expert testimony from psychologists or psychiatrists.
  • Evidence and Witnesses: Strong, corroborated evidence and credible witnesses can significantly influence the case’s outcome.

How are Damages Determined?

Damages in a sexual abuse case are determined based on a variety of factors, encompassing both economic and non-economic losses suffered by the victim. The goal is to compensate the victim for the harm suffered, and this process can be complex. Here are the key considerations:

  • Economic Damages: These are quantifiable financial losses, such as medical expenses, therapy costs, lost wages, and any other direct financial impacts resulting from the abuse.
  • Non-Economic Damages: These include compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and other subjective impacts.
  • Punitive Damages: In some cases, the court may award punitive damages to punish the perpetrator and deter similar conduct in the future. These are not tied to the victim’s losses but are instead based on the egregiousness of the offender’s behavior.
