Claims in Child Molestation Cases in California
The firm represents the injured victim in all types of child molestation cases, from those involving
sexual exploitation, cases of
sexual abuse, and
rape. We protect the right of the victim who has suffered
sexual assault injuries and has the right to demand compensation after suffering from abuse. We also represent clients in cases of
workplace sexual assault throughout California. In cases in which there was
sexual assault of a minor, the firm takes action to seek justice in financial terms in civil court. This form of justice forces the perpetrator to pay for all damages, which in sexual molestation cases are often extensive, including ongoing emotional damages. We address the
victim's financial concerns and pursue a settlement that will allow them access to any treatment they may need, as well as providing financial support, as is often necessary.
It is important that you recognize the signs of child molestation, and if you suspect that this has occurred, that you take immediate action. Those who inflict harm on the innocent usually continue with their activities and bringing them to justice is a crucial matter. Your legal action can save others from suffering the same terrible abuse. For
adult victims of child molestation who as a child were victimized and suffered abuse, you still may be able to take legal action against your attacker.
Sexual abuse attorneys know that their proof is largely restricted to the convincing testimony of the victim. No X-rays or CT scans can detect that sexual exploitation by counselors or teacher molestation has occurred. Rather, awareness of it is typically repressed or ignored until a victim reaches the age of 30 or so. Surfaced memories may allow a sexual exploitation victim to identify his or her abuser. There are countless cases in recent years in which criminals were finally brought to justice after abusing children for years, either in school or in a religious environment. Seeking justice through filing a civil claim demanding compensation can bring closure and allow the victim to finally move forward with their lives.
