There are numerous forms of sexual abuse and victims can be male or female, young or old. As a result, sexual abuse claims are extremely varied. Some are brought by parents on behalf of an abused child, or adults who may file a claim related to sexual abuse that occurred during childhood. No matter the circumstance, these claims are sensitive and require the attention of experienced lawyers.

Our cases include those against institutions such as:

• Schools
• Religious organizations
• Psychiatrist and therapists
• Residential care facilities for the disabled
• Nursing homes

A large degree of sexual abuse occurs in places and institutions that we place our trust and safety in. Many of these institutions have a legal obligation to keep you and your family safe. When they fail to do so these institutions are legally responsible for their negligence.

Instances of abuse can occur as a result of an institution's hiring practices. For example, it may negligently hire a person who is unfit for the job and may have a propensity for attacks or abuse of children. The organization also may fail to properly supervise employees who are left alone with children. An institution may be liable for sexual abuse if it failed to properly secure and monitor its premises, thus permitting abuse to occur on the property.
