Sexual Abuse
Sexual Abuse
Sexual abuse legal actions are incredibly sensitive, as the victim bringing the claim will have to relive the emotional trauma and pain that was inflicted upon them.
As victim advocates, we are keenly aware that these cases require an attorney to balance zealous advocacy with the empathy and awareness that a victim of sexual abuse will need time and space to heal.
Sexual abuse claims can vary a great deal as they may implicate a single abuser or alternatively may involve large organizations and institutions.
Our attorneys are keenly aware that institutional sexual abuse claims are often predicated upon some sort of cover-up by the institution.We are skilled at uncovering these cover ups in the litigation.
As it pertains to sexual abuse claims involving large-scale organizations, it should be emphasized that, in Oregon, an organization can be held culpable if the conduct related to the abuser's job duties was an outgrowth of their work responsibilities.
Examples range from a physician who sexually touches a patient to a teacher who abuses a student under their supervision. In these examples the hospital and school district, who employ the abusive physician and teacher respectively, can be held liable for the sexual abuse of their employees.
