Almost all victims of sex or assault abuse experience significant losses, including physical injuries, psychological injuries , and/or negative effects on their career, social and personal lives. A civil lawsuit empowers victims to obtain adequate compensation for their losses and confirm that they are survivors.
Here at PF Law Firm, we have many years of experience in understanding these cases, and assisting sex and assault victims. We are deeply committed to making sure that our clients obtain all of the social, psychological, medical, and legal assistance they need so they can make a healthy recovery as survivors.
Extended Statute of Limitations:
Recently, various states across the Country have extended the statute of limitations for survivors to file civil lawsuits related to their sexual abuse. These extensions provide survivors with more time to seek legal recourse and the opportunity for them to be adequately compensated by the offender(s).
Expanded Liability to Hold Other Defendants Accountable:
Many states also passed legislation that has expanded the scope of liability by allowing survivors to hold not only the direct perpetrators accountable for the abuse, but also the institutions and organizations that employed or supervised the abusers. This includes schools, churches, youth organizations, employers, and other entities that may have been negligent in their hiring and supervision.
Sex abuse and assault victims often have questions and/or concerns about how they can seek justice and financial compensation. We encourage our clients to communicate their questions to us, so we can answer their questions.
