Sexual Abuse Case Types We Handle in Pennsylvania

Abuse happens in many settings, and the institution responsible looks different in each one. We represent survivors in cases involving the places and relationships below. If your situation is not listed (or you are not sure whether what happened would be a valid claim), it costs nothing to ask. Each link goes to a plain-language guide for that type of case.

What These Cases Have in Common

In each of these settings, an organization accepted responsibility for someone’s safety, and a survivor was harmed when it failed to screen, supervise, report, or protect. A civil claim holds that institution accountable and can recover compensation for counseling, medical care, and the lasting impact of what happened. You do not need a criminal conviction, and you do not need to have reported the abuse when it occurred.

Not Sure Which One Fits?

You do not have to figure out the legal category yourself; that is our job. If you tell us what happened, in your own words and at your own pace, we will help you understand your options. Pennsylvania has specific deadlines for these claims, and they have changed in recent years, so the safest step is a free, confidential conversation that gives you an accurate answer for your situation. Call or text (267) 502-9090 anytime.
