You Can Pursue Compensation From the Sexual Abuser

Sexual abuse can take a physical and psychological toll on its victims. It can lead to a significant physical recovery, which can lead to extended periods of time when you cannot return to work. We help assign financial liability to the at-fault party for your:

  • Medical care
  • Counseling
  • Income loss
  • Pain and suffering
  • Punitive damages

When we represent you, we make sure every expense you are entitled to is included in your list of recoverable damages. We also fight hard to ensure you are favorably compensated for your physical, emotional, and financial injuries.

Get Help From Our Team Immediately

Recovering from sexual abuse can be a years-long process. Cleveland Clinic research cites post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as one of many long-term consequences of sexual assault or abuse. Therefore, we take immediate action to help you cope with its short- and long-term aftermath.

We also act quickly because a statute of limitations defines how long you have to file your lawsuit. If you do not file within the allotted timeframe, you could lose the ability to seek compensation. Many factors can alter the filing deadline, so the best way to understand yours is to review your sexual abuse case with a member of our legal team.

You have the right to fight back after someone harms you, and our team is passionate about helping you get the compensation you deserve. We are also passionate about creating a supportive atmosphere. Past clients say:

  • “I loved working with this firm. I would recommend it to friends in a heartbeat. They responded to my inquiry so quickly and were incredibly helpful in guiding me through the process. Their legal advice got me the outcome I wanted, and I am forever grateful.” — KT Seibert
  • “I am so happy that I chose Laborde Earles as my attorneys. Mr. Earles is always available when I call…I totally trust him, and I’m extremely satisfied with his experience and expertise. Thank you, Mr. Earles, for being more than an attorney to me.” — Michelle Graham
  • “I had a very positive experience with Laborde Earles. They provided excellent service, demonstrating professionalism and personal attention to detail… I will recommend to my family and friends. Thank you, for all your hard work!!” — Danielle Lott

Our clients are more than case files to us. We treat you as an individual and listen to your story with understanding, discernment, and discretion. We also manage your case from start to finish and make a point of providing you with regular updates about its progress.

We are Here to Help Victims who Have Been Sexually Abused

Any type or amount of unwanted sexual remarks, behavior, fondling, or touching is a form of sexual abuse.

We help you fight for compensation if you suffered from one of these abuses or if you were victimized in one or more of the following ways:

  • Rape
  • Molestation
  • Incest
  • Sexual harassment
  • Acquaintance assault

Forced, non-consensual sexual behavior is always against the law. When a person in a position of authority over you takes advantage of that influence, we help you hold them accountable for the impact of their actions.

Evidence We Include in Your Sexual Abuse Case File

Your recollection of events is one of the first things we will request when we start building your case. We may also request additional information, some of which may be sensitive. Evidence that can help us prove your right to compensation can include:

  • Medical records
  • Police reports
  • Forensic evidence
  • Trial results

We may also include arrest records, financial records, insurance providers, and other information about the at-fault party. We compile this information for you as part of our representation.
