Our West Los Angeles, CA School Sex Abuse Lawyer Protects Your Child
Schools are supposed to be a safe place for our children to learn, free from threats of abuse or sexual assault. However, some child predators take advantage of the access to children and the trust that kids put into educators. Any form of sexual conduct between a minor child (even a 17-year-old) and an adult is wrong, as the child cannot legally consent. School sex abuse perpetrators may be teachers, administrators, coaches, or others in positions of authority. In some cases, the abuse may be child-on-child. If your child was sexually abused at school or a school-related activity, such as a trip, extracurricular event, or sports game, our West Los Angeles, CA school sex abuse lawyer can help you get justice.
The attorneys at Seber Bulger Law advocate for the safety of all children. We hold sexual abusers to the full measure of justice and are ready to fight for your child. We provide personal injury representation to victims of school sexual abuse and their families. Please contact us today for a free consultation.
Holding School Sexual Abusers Accountable
In California, the recent passage of the California Child Victims Act (CA AB-218) extended the statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit for damages from sexual abuse. Our lawyers can help you learn about your eligibility under this law (and other California sexual abuse laws) and your legal options. While no amount of money can undo the abuse and harm you suffered, filing a suit allows you to have your voice heard, name the abuser, and place their name and what they did into the public record. This can help you find a measure of justice.
As your legal advocate, we investigate the matter and gather evidence to build a case against the abuser. We may also hold the school district and administrators accountable. The district is responsible for protecting its students, properly supervising teachers and other employees, and preventing abuse. The school district failed to protect your child by permitting the conditions for abuse to persist, and it should be held accountable.
Filing A Lawsuit For Damages In A School Sexual Abuse Case
You are eligible to claim compensation for material damages you suffered as a result of the abuse, such as medical care (including psychological therapy) and possibly expenses your parents incurred (such as missing work to care for you if you had to miss school or be homeschooled, or money they spent to move away or tuition paid to send you to a different school). You can also claim non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering and emotional trauma. The settlement you receive can give you and your family the means to rebuild your life and enjoy a brighter future.
