Bringing a childhood or adult sexual abuse lawsuit is not easy. It's much more complex than a case involving an automobile accident, or an injury from a slip and fall. Understanding and presenting a sexual abuse case requires determination and insight, combined with the most sophisticated approaches.
Childhood sexual abuse can occur in many different situations and environments. Cases of abuse may occur at day care facilities, at camps, or at public or private schools … or at organized after-school activities such as sports activities or Scouts. Teachers, coaches and daycare workers may be negligent - or culpable themselves.
When it comes to determining fault, it's often a child's word against an adult's - if the child can bring themselves to speak.
Adult sexual abuse can happen in college, school or the workplace. Teachers, supervisors and managers who are supposed to protect students and employees may be negligent - or culpable themselves.
When it comes to determining fault, it's often a survivor's word against theirs.
Memories can be vague and details less than clear. All too often there are few if any witnesses and conflicting claims to be explored. Unique experts and investigative techniques may be required.
