Addressing Emotional and Psychological Impact

The emotional and psychological impact of sexual abuse is profound. BAM Personal Injury Lawyers understand the importance of addressing these aspects throughout the legal process. We provide empathetic support, ensuring you feel heard and respected.

We partner with mental health professionals to offer resources that can help you heal. We believe in a holistic approach to recovery and advocate for compensation that includes funds for therapy and counseling.

Seeking Justice and Compensation

Seeking justice after sexual abuse is about more than just legal victories; it's about healing and closure. Our attorneys are dedicated to helping you earn both by fighting for the compensation you rightfully deserve. We'll guide you through the legal process, advocating for your best interests at every turn.

Types of Damages Available to Survivors

• Medical expenses. Compensation can address both past and future medical bills related to the abuse, including therapy and counseling costs.
• Lost wages. If the abuse has impacted your ability to work, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages and future earning capacity.
• Pain and suffering. Damages can be granted for physical pain, emotional trauma, and the overall impact the abuse has had on your quality of life.
• Punitive damages. In cases of particularly egregious abuse, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the perpetrator and deter future misconduct.
• Legal fees. You may also be able to recover the costs associated with pursuing your legal claim, including attorney fees.

The Role of Settlements and Trials in Abuse Cases

Deciding whether to settle or go to trial is an important decision. Settlements can provide a quicker resolution and guaranteed compensation but may not always reflect the full extent of your damages.

Trials can be longer and more emotionally taxing but offer the opportunity for greater compensation and public accountability.

Our experienced attorneys will advise you on the best course of action based on your specific circumstances. We are prepared to fight for you in court if that is what it takes to secure the justice you deserve. Your well-being and best interests are always our top priority.
