Knowing that these individuals are being held accountable can help you move past your abuse. You will also be raising awareness about sex abuse and preventing other people from becoming victims.

Liability and Your San Diego Sex Abuse Case

Of course, the perpetrator of the sexual assault can be sued in civil court for damages relating to the case, but others may also be held liable.

For example, if you were sexually assaulted on the grounds of a school, you may also hold the school responsible. Why would it be the school’s fault that an abuser attacked you? Because the school has a duty to keep students safe on campus, and school officials should do everything they can to ensure your protection.

The following are some examples of organizations and institutions that could be partially liable for a victim’s sexual abuse, depending on the circumstances of the case:

• Schools
• Nursing homes
• Churches
• Extracurricular organizations
• Employers
• Healthcare facilities
• Jails
• Day cares

Why File a San Diego Sex Abuse Claim?

You may be unsure of whether you should file a claim at all. Wouldn’t a claim just drag up all those terrible feelings? Will it give you any closure?
