Experiencing sexual abuse can be profoundly traumatic, often leaving victims feeling powerless. It encompasses acts such as grooming, privacy violations, harassment, or unwanted physical contact, and can result in enduring physical, psychological, and emotional harm. However, victims have the opportunity to pursue justice and hold perpetrators accountable for the damages caused, including both physical and emotional injuries. 

If you or a loved one were a victim of sexual abuse, you may be eligible to file a claim.

Now that the Child Victims Act is law, Andreozzi & Foote is helping child sexual abuse survivors pursue justice and compensation. Our firm is representing clients in cases involving abuse in juvenile detention centers, schools, religious institutions, and medical settings. We assist survivors of staff-on-inmate abuse in detention facilities, teacher and faculty abuse in schools, clergy abuse documented by decades of investigations, and abuse by medical professionals in healthcare systems. Andreozzi & Foote is also available to support survivors who experienced abuse in other settings. 

Survivors of sexual abuse possess remarkable resilience in the face of challenges that can include emotional struggles like anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as physical harm from non-consensual acts. In the most difficult cases, survivors may grapple with thoughts of self-harm, yet their courage in confronting these experiences is a testament to their strength. 

Taking the step to come forward and seek justice is empowering. In criminal proceedings, the focus is on holding the perpetrator accountable and ensuring the safety of others. Survivors also have the right to seek compensation through the civil justice system which may hold perpetrators and the organizations that employ them accountable.  

Feelings of guilt, shame, or difficulty trusting others are common after such experiences, but they do not define a survivor’s journey. Each survivor deserves the opportunity to heal, rebuild trust, and form meaningful connections. Justice and closure are not only possible but essential steps toward reclaiming power and building a future filled with hope and strength. 

Sexual abuse cases can be complex, making it crucial to seek guidance from experienced legal professionals. Andreozzi & Foote is available to assist you in navigating your case and exploring your legal options.
