While those who commit sexual assault and molestation are often prosecuted criminally under local laws, all too often, the criminal system fails to provide sexual abuse survivors with the feeling that justice was served. A civil lawsuit allows victims of sexual abuse to recover monetary compensation for the emotional and psychological harm they have suffered.
Helping Victims of Sexual Assault and Sexual Abuse
Many times, a victim of sexual assault can bring a claim against other parties in addition to the perpetrator. A civil lawsuit may help to change the institution’s practices that allow sexual abuse to occur under their watch and help ensure that this horrific act does not happen to other community members.
No lawsuit or amount of money can turn back the clock or undo the harm caused by sexual abuse. However, a case does allow the victim to obtain compensation which can pay for future medical or therapy bills, lost wages, and loss of enjoyment of life and provide a complete sense of justice and closure that can assist with recovery and healing.
Sexual abuse is one of the most horrific and traumatizing acts one person can perpetrate on another. Victims of sexual abuse suffer years, if not decades, of pain from the trauma. Unfortunately, the road to recovery can be expensive. Therefore, it is important to seek care and treatment from professionals dedicated to helping those who are or have been victims of sexual abuse.
