Kennewick Sex Abuse Lawyer

The personal injury attorneys at Ritchie Reiersen Law understand the harm that sexual abuse victims endure. Statistics suggest that nearly 90 percent of  sexual abuse victims know, love, and trust their abuser. To have such love and trust violated leaves devastating emotional scars that can affect a victim through their entire life.

While all incidents of abuse are tragic, it is especially devastating to have a child experience sexual abuse from an authority figure at a school, church, or other organization’s function. Our Kennewick sex abuse lawyers are here to help.

What kind of restitution can victims seek in these unfortunate situations? Because all cases are different, we recommend victims contact a Kennewick sex abuse attorney who has experience handling cases of sexual abuse by an authority figure. Generally speaking, it is important to give the victim a voice to speak out about their abuse.

Additionally, it is imperative that the offender be reported to the appropriate legal authorities. With the help of a confident and compassionate personal injury attorney, victims of sexual abuse can become advocates for their rights and the rights of others facing similar situations.

What is a Sex Abuse Victim Entitled to Recover?

Victims of sexual abuse are entitled to compensation for the injuries they have sustained. This compensation may be paid out of a federally-funded Crime Victims fund, although those funds are used as a last resort and are limited.

If the victim wishes to pursue a civil case against the offender and the organization they represented at the time of the abuse, they may seek compensation for economic as well as non-economic damages – including pain and suffering, mental health treatment, etc. This also can include punitive damages.

Ritchie Reiersen Law helps victims pursue compensation for the injuries and damages they experienced. We handle cases of sexual abuse, assault, and harassment that occur in church, employment, school, athletic, and organized social settings.
