Child Sex Abuse Lawyer
Child sexual abuse causes physical, emotional, and psychological harm that can last a lifetime. Victims can suffer uncontrollable depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder, which can have an effect on a person’s life even as an adult. While there is nothing that can be done to undo the harm, it is possible for victims to recover the compensation they need to move forward. This compensation can be used to pay for counseling, treatment, and other care needed for recovery. Unfortunately, most insurance companies do not think so and will vilely defend cases of child sex abuse.
At Schlacter Law, we stand with victims of child sex abuse to fight for their rights. We have recovered millions of dollars for our clients including $2,076,758, $1,625,0000, $825,000, $800,000, $790,000, and $775,000 in major personal injury accidents. We make sure that insurance companies do not take advantage of our client’s rights by shielding a defendant. We offer a FREE consultation, and, if we accept your case, we will conduct a full investigation and may hire leading experts to help prove liability and your injuries. We only get paid if we recover compensation for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who could be liable for a child sex abuse case?
Anyone who commits any crime of a sexual nature against a child could be liable. This includes teachers, caretakers, coaches, family members, or even parents. Any individual who sexually abuses a child in any of the manners listed above could be liable. Always ask our child sex abuse lawyer for help if you suspect that a child has been abused.
What are the warning signs of child sex abuse?
Unlike other personal injury cases, injuries from child sex abuse are not obvious. Sometimes a child has been told to not tell or even bribed not to tell. Other times a child has been threatened to keep it a secret. Many times young children do not understand the gravity of what has occurred. Therefore, being an advocate for your child is important and necessary. Watching out for warning signs such as inappropriate play of a sexual manner, using sexual words or phrases, inappropriate conduct, withdrawn behavior, childhood depression, unexplained physical injuries, or irrational behavior are all warning signs of possible abuse, especially child sex abuse.
What compensation may a child sex abuse victim receive?
Victims of child sex abuse may recover a wide-range of compensation which depends on the conduct, age of the child, effect on the child, and whether punitive damages are awarded. Physical pain and suffering and emotional pain and suffering, including anxiety, depression, and suicidal conduct are all common damages which may be compensated under Florida law. Speak with a child sex abuse attorney to learn more about what rights a victim may have.
