Were You or a Loved One Sexually Abused by Someone at a School, Institution, or Organization Entrusted With Your Care?

Sexual abuse can happen anywhere trust is placed in an institution — a classroom, a church, a group home, a hospital room, or the back seat of a rideshare. Survivors are coming forward, and the law is on their side. If you were abused by a teacher, coach, clergy member, caregiver, driver, or staff member, you may be entitled to significant compensation.

You May Have a Claim If the Abuse Occurred At or Involving:

• Public or Private Schools (teachers, coaches, staff, other students)
• Religious Institutions (clergy, youth ministers, church staff or volunteers)
• Foster Care or Adoption Agencies
• Juvenile Detention Facilities or Group Homes
• Camps, Youth Centers, or After-School Programs
• Rideshare Services (Uber, Lyft, and similar platforms)
• Hospitals, Clinics, or Doctor’s Offices
• Any Other Institution, Organization, or Individual in a Position of Trust or Authority

Why These Cases Matter

Institutions have a legal duty to protect the people in their care — students, patients, foster children, passengers, and congregants. When they fail to properly screen, supervise, or report known abusers, they can be held civilly liable, separate from any criminal case against the abuser.

Many states have opened “lookback windows” that temporarily lift the statute of limitations for survivors of childhood sexual abuse, allowing claims that were previously time-barred to move forward. Acting promptly can help preserve your rights, but even older cases may still qualify.

What You May Be Entitled To

• Compensation for emotional and psychological harm
• Medical and therapy-related expenses, past and future
• Lost wages or diminished earning capacity
• Punitive damages where an institution’s negligence was severe
