Mobile Sexual Abuse Lawyer
Do you need a sexual abuse or sexual assault lawyer in the Mobile, Alabama area or the surrounding counties? Sexual abuse can occur in many different forms and in many different situations. It happens to both adults and children. Often sexual abuse is perpetrated by someone whom the victim loves or trusts – another family member, a teacher, a coach, a doctor, or a pastor. It can also come from a coworker, boss, casual acquaintance, or a complete stranger. Sexual abuse can be subtle or it can be violent. Oftentimes, particularly with children, the person is not even aware at the time that they’re being abused. The one certainty is that sexual abuse leaves in its path devastation, emotional distress, feelings of betrayal or violation, and physical injury.
Even when the perpetrator is dealt with by the criminal justice system, the victims are left to pick up the pieces of their lives as they try to recover and move on – a process that might take years or may never happen. Too often those suffering the effects of sexual abuse don’t realize that they have rights and can strike back by bringing a civil damages claim against the abuser and often against the abuser’s employer or sponsoring organization for failure to take adequate steps to protect victims from the abuse.
