When to Call a Belle Glade Sexual Abuse Lawyer
You are under no obligation to hold an abuser accountable for your mistreatment alone. In fact, we strongly discourage you from doing so, as the civil process is complicated enough before you account for the ways an abuser may try to turn the system against you.

We can step in, help protect you against an abuser’s attempts to infringe on your right to action, and explore what tools you can use to demand justice for your mistreatment. We can manage any essential conversations with an abuser or their legal representatives, all while preserving your right to demand compensation for your losses.
Do not hesitate to call our Belle Glade, FL, sexual abuse lawyers the moment you decide to take action, or even if you have questions about your right to civil action.
We are here to answer your questions. A free case consultation with our staff won’t lock you into legal action and allows you to confidentially discuss your possible paths forward.
Civil vs. Criminal Sexual Abuse Cases
Filing a civil case against a sexual abuser does not give you the opportunity to leverage criminal consequences against that person.
Police officers and prosecutors are the ones who can demand that your abuser face jail time and significant fines per Florida’s sex crime statutes, including sexual battery, which falls under FL Statutes 794.011.
Your civil case gives you the opportunity to demand financial damages based on the losses you sustained as a result of your abuse. For example, if someone’s sexual abuse resulted in serious injuries, damaged property, and reduced quality of life, a claim can help you demand that your abuser offer you financial support based on the value of those losses.
No amount of money is ever going to fully make up for your abuse. However, court-mandated financial support can make it easier for you to retake control of your life and set out on a path that’s safer and happier. You can discuss what to expect from a sexual abuse case during a free case consultation with our staff.
