As an expert in the field of sexual abuse law, I have seen firsthand the devastating impact that these heinous acts can have on victims. That's why I am dedicated to fighting for justice and compensation for those who have suffered from sexual assault or abuse. In partnership with organizations like RAINN, I work closely with victims to collect and present evidence in order to maximize legal benefits. Sexual assault is a broad term that encompasses a range of criminal acts of a sexual nature, including unwanted sexual contact, forceful contact, and threats without consent. Shockingly, according to RAINN, approximately one in three sexual assaults goes unreported in the United States.
That's why it is crucial for victims to have a skilled and dedicated attorney on their side. While the police focus on the criminal aspect of the case, a personal injury lawyer who specializes in sexual violence cases can provide crucial support and guidance. With the evidence presented by the victim's attorney, a judge can determine if abuse has occurred. From there, a jury will analyze the compensation sought by prosecutors and determine a fair settlement based on the harm or injury caused. It's important to note that sexual abuse can take many forms, including inappropriate or harmful sexual activity between an adult and a minor or with a person who has diminished mental capacity. These cases are unfortunately on the rise, making it necessary for victims to take legal action against their abusers in order to prevent further harm. At Midwest Injury Lawyers, we are dedicated to helping victims seek justice and fair compensation for their traumatic experiences.
Our team has received numerous awards and accolades from legal organizations and rating services, solidifying our reputation as top-notch advocates for survivors of sexual abuse. Under 42 USC of 1983, survivors of sexual abuse have the right to receive compensation for injuries resulting from the deprivation of their civil rights as established in the Constitution. As a sexual abuse lawyer, I am committed to upholding these rights and fighting for the justice that victims deserve.
