Filing a Lawsuit Over Child Sexual Abuse

Todd P. Emanuel September 30, 2020 Leave a Comment

A civil lawsuit based on child sexual abuse allows a victim to receive compensation even if someone hasn’t been charged and/or convicted of the crimes. Unlike a criminal case, we must establish liability and the jury (9 out of 12) must decide the defendant was liable for the injuries and damages related to the crime. At Emanuel Law Group, we represent abuse victims to obtain the compensation that helps them to move on with their life, whether pain and suffering, medical costs, therapy, counseling, or even lost wages.

How it Works

A victim’s family may even be eligible for a lawsuit if they witnessed the crime or if a death resulted from the crime. Both a child or their legal caregiver (whether birth parents or otherwise) can sue for child sexual abuse. A child can sue for physical and emotional harm while the caregivers can sue for emotional harm that they suffered knowing the child was abused. For those abused at a school or daycare center, an employer who failed to monitor or screen an employee that sexually abused a child could also be liable under negligent retention or hiring theory, which says that an employee’s duties involved care or supervision of children.
