Teacher-Student Sexual Abuse Lawyer Culver City, CA
Top Rated Attorneys
Any kind of sexual contact between a teacher and a student is wrong. Unfortunately, thousands of children every year are abused, harassed, or assaulted by someone they trust—their teacher. Even if the student is in their teens, they are still unable to legally consent to sexual interactions with an adult. California takes teacher-student sexual abuse seriously, so much so that it passed the California Child Victims Act (CA AB-218), which contains a “look back” period that significantly extends the statute of limitations for survivors to file a civil claim. If your child was sexually abused by a teacher, a Culver City, CA, teacher-student sexual abuse lawyer can help you evaluate your legal options and hold the abuser to justice.
The attorneys at Seber Bulger Law take your child’s safety seriously, and we want to help you get justice. Our legal team can help you file a civil suit against the teacher, school, and school system, holding all parties who had a role in your child’s abuse to justice.

Culver City Teacher-Student Sexual Abuse Lawyer Holds Predators To Justice
Sexual abuse leaves lifelong scars on child victims. A child may not understand what’s going on, may blame themselves, or worry that no one will believe them or can help them. We believe you. We help you. Your child has the right to feel safe, and you have the right to demand justice and accountability. While the offending teacher may face criminal charges for what they did, what about the school? What about the school district? Our attorneys hold a school liable for failing to supervise the teacher or creating conditions where abuse would occur. In some cases, we also hold the school system accountable for failure to do due diligence.
We investigate the abuse to identify all liable parties and gather evidence proving negligence and malicious action. Then, we carefully build a case based on California personal injury laws and demand that the defendant pay full compensation for all your losses. While we cannot put a school in jail, we can ensure that negligent school administrations face justice for the harm that happened to your child.
Seeking Compensation In A Sexual Abuse Suit
You have the right to file a suit for compensatory damages against the teacher and any other liable parties. Damages in a school sexual abuse case include all necessary medical and mental health treatment to help your child recover. They also include covering lost wages if you had to miss work to care for your child or homeschool them, plus any out-of-pocket expenses you incurred, like transportation to a new school and other financial losses.
You also have the right to demand fair compensation for the pain and suffering, and emotional trauma that your child experienced. While no amount of money can undo what happened to your child, the money you receive in a settlement can help them get the care they need to heal and provide the means for your family to rebuild your lives and move on. We take your case seriously and treat you with the dignity and compassion you deserve.
