Sexual Abuse

If you are the victim of any type of sexual abuse my firm can help. Sexual abuse claims can be raised by minors and adults. Because of the power and influence of a person’s position, what may seem like a consensual relationship can many times be sexual abuse.

Whether you are being abused by clergy, a bank loan officer, your lawyer or other professional, my firm is here to help you. It is important that you document what is taking place and contact a lawyer at once to have all of your rights protected.

I believe there will be a wave of sex abuse lawsuits in Illinois targeting abuse that occurred at medical and behavioral facilities. For example, Universal Health Services (NYSE: UHS) had a recent verdict issued that would require the company to pay $535 million in damages related to a sexual assault suit. 

Pavilion Behavioral Health System, a subsidiary of UHS, denied any liability in a case that alleged that an underage patient was sexually assaulted by another underage patient in 2020. 

The case, which included negligence and misrepresentation claims went to trial and a jury awarded the plaintiff $60 million in compensatory damages and $475 in punitive damages.

Damages can run six, seven and eight figures depending on the circumstances and facts. It is imperative that you act quickly to protect your rights and hold those who harmed you accountable.

Examples of sexual harassment that can be sexual abuse include a doctor who uses his or her power to have a sexual relationship with you. Or if your psychiatrist uses her or his position to have a sexual relationship with you.

I offer a free consultation to review your case and I only take these types of cases on contingency fee basis. That means you own nothing up front and I only get a percentage if we settle or win the case. There is never a fee directly paid by you.
