Who Can Be Held Liable for Sexual Abuse in California?
Sexual abuse civil claims in California can extend beyond the individual perpetrator. Institutions and organizations that knew or should have known about ongoing abuse — and failed to act — may also be held liable. This can include schools, churches, youth organizations, sports programs, healthcare facilities, and employers who failed to properly screen or supervise staff.
California’s look-back window provisions and extended statutes of limitations for sexual abuse claims mean that survivors may have longer than they realize to pursue legal action. Our attorneys can evaluate the specific circumstances of your case and explain what legal options are available to you in Irvine or anywhere in Orange County.
Compensation Available for Sexual Abuse Survivors
A successful civil sexual abuse claim in California may allow survivors to recover compensation for medical and psychological treatment costs, ongoing therapy expenses, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other losses directly resulting from the abuse. In some cases, punitive damages may also be available when the defendant’s conduct was particularly egregious.
