Civil claims can be brought against the person who committed the abuse and against schools, employers, religious organizations, care facilities, property owners, and other institutions that failed to protect those in their care.
These cases require sensitivity and strength in equal measure. We protect your privacy, move at your pace, and build the case thoroughly so the people responsible answer for what happened.
How we help
- Confidential consultations with an attorney, not an intake service
- Protective measures to shield your identity in court filings where available
- Investigation of institutional failures: hiring, supervision, reporting, and security
- Coordination with therapists and medical providers to document harm
- Pursuit of full compensation, including counseling costs and lost earning capacity
Institutional accountability
Organizations that ignored warning signs, failed to run background checks, or concealed prior complaints can be held liable for negligent hiring, supervision, and retention, and for negligent security.
Your pace, your decision
Nothing happens without your informed consent. We explain every step before we take it.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a time limit to file?
Florida has extended or eliminated the limitations period for many abuse claims, particularly those involving minors. Because the rules depend on the facts, contact us to review your specific situation.
Can I file if there was no criminal conviction?
Yes. Civil cases have a lower burden of proof than criminal cases and can proceed regardless of whether charges were filed.
Will my name be public?
Courts often allow survivors to proceed under initials or a pseudonym. We request those protections whenever they are available.
