Civil Litigation Options for Sex Abuse Victims in Massachusetts

Statistics show that one person is sexually assaulted every 68 seconds in America. One out of every six American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape during her lifetime. Unfortunately, these incidents continue to take place across the state of Massachusetts at an alarming rate.

Victims who are sexually abused often have legal options available to help them seek compensation from their abuser. In addition to criminal actions, victims are able to pursue civil cases against those who caused them harm so they are able to get a sense of closure for themselves.

Pursuing a Personal Injury Case

Although we often hear about sexual abusers being charged criminally for their actions, not many people consider taking civil action against their abusers as well. A criminal conviction is not required for a victim to pursue a sexual abuse claim against the person who caused them harm.

By pursuing a civil case against the person who caused you harm, you will be able to secure monetary damages from your perpetrator and against any individual whose negligence allowed the abuse to take place. At a minimum, you will be able to secure compensation for:

• The costs that you face as a result of your past, current, and future medical needs that are related to the sexual abuse that you have been forced to endure
• The cost of mental health services that you need as a result of being victimized
• The pain and suffering that you have experienced as a result of the sexual abuse
• Any impaired earning capacity that you have experienced as a result of being victimized
