Claims for Sexual Abuse
Sexual abuse is a devastating act that deeply and profoundly affects victims. California law allows victims to file a personal injury lawsuit against the perpetrator of the abuse.
What Compensation Can Victims Claim?
Medical Expenses: This includes all medical treatments related to sexual abuse, as well as any necessary psychological treatment or counseling.
Lost Income: If sexual abuse results in the victim’s inability to work or loss of employment, they can claim recovery for lost income.
Pain and Suffering: The trauma of sexual abuse can have long-term effects. California laws allow victims to sue for long-term psychological difficulties, physical pain, emotional stress, and mental anguish.
Punitive Damages: Apart from criminal penalties, punitive damages aim to punish the perpetrator through the civil justice system. These are awarded in cases where the defendant intentionally caused harm to the victim.
