Institutional Sexual Assault and Abuse Lawsuits

Institutional Sexual Assault and Abuse

In many cases of sexual assault or abuse, perpetrators take advantage of their position within an institution to prey on victims. Institutional sexual assault is often perpetrated by an employee or agent of a facility entrusted with the victim’s well-being. Due to high vulnerability – such as a patient seeking medical care, a student on campus, a young member of a religious organization, or an elderly patient in a long-term care facility – these situations can lead to sexual assault or abuse when institutions and organizations fail to take proper precautions in protecting their members.

Protecting People When Organizations and Institutions Fail To

The most powerful tool victims of sexual assault or abuse have is understanding their legal rights when they’ve experienced sexual assault under the care of an institution. Speaking with experienced institutional sexual abuse lawyers is an important first step in pursuing justice and in holding negligent organizations accountable for their actions to help prevent future instances of sexual assault.

Sexual assault cases against institutions are pursued under the civil justice system, allowing survivors to receive monetary compensation directly from the institution for their injuries, harm, losses, and other damages that resulted from the assault. Institutions can include schools, universities, hospitals, medical clinics, churches, or assisted living facilities.

Institutional sexual abuse cases are incredibly complex and are best handled by an attorney experienced in these matters. For example, depending on the type of institution, survivors may be limited in the justice they are able to receive. This applies to governmental institutions, including public school systems and universities, that are subject to certain immunities that bring additional complexity to these cases.
