Were You a Victim of Sex Abuse or Assault?
- Sex Abuse and Crime Victims are often the "silent victims" in our society.
- 1 out of every 6 women will experience some form of sex abuse in their lifetime.
- Sex abuse causes serious lifelong mental, emotional and often physical disability.
- We have been successful in recovering substantial damages for sex abuse and crime victims in cases against public figures, sports personalities, private individuals, and state and local governments.
- Prosecutors in criminal cases do not fully understand the remedies available to crime and sex abuse victims.
If you were the victim of sexual abuse as a child, or the recent victim of assault, you are entitled to seek compensation for the physical and psychological injuries that have changed your life.
