Obtained a confidential six-figure settlement in a New Jersey sexual assault case on behalf of a client who, as a child, was assaulted and abused when attending a sleep-away summer camp in Pennsylvania.
Sexual abuse by trusted individuals or individuals in a position of power over others, will undoubtedly cause physical and emotional pain to the violated victim, which leaves lifelong emotional scars. Many of the sexual abuse victims we have represented at our law firm required long periods of psychiatric therapy and inpatient hospitalization in mental facilities to help them with the emotional scars that were left after the abuse. We routinely handle cases such as this under Title IX and state law claims. Since 1958, the Pennsylvania sexual abuse lawyers of The Beasley Firm have successfully handled all types of sexual assault cases, including:
We also have an unparalleled track record of success. Our results have not only secured emotional closure and financial security for our clients, but they have set vital precedents for countless sexual abuse cases all over the United States.
In the Greenberg v. McCabe case, which is profiled in Jim Beasley's biography Courtroom Cowboy, a psychiatrist used a variety of powerful psychoactive drugs to manipulate his patient into engaging in sex during their counseling sessions. In addition to a jury verdict in the patient's favor, the case produced an important court opinion (available on Google Scholar here) that changed how the statute of limitations was applied to sexual abuse victims, and has since been cited by over one-hundred court opinions and scholarly journals. To date, the experienced medical and legal teams of The Beasley Firm have been awarded over $2 billion dollars on behalf of catastrophically injured victims and their families. Our Philadelphia sexual abuse attorneys have handled some of the highest profile cases in Pennsylvania against:
The scope of the problem cannot be over-stated. Statistics indicate that over 33 percent of all girls and 20 percent of all boys will become victims of sexual abuse by the time they are 18 years old.
Sexual assault may include:
Like some of the most severe physical injuries, rape and sexual assault can cause a host of serious and intractable emotional harms, including conditions such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and forms of depression such as feelings of paranoia, helplessness, shame, anxiety, and fear of relationships or intimacy.
If you or a loved one is the victim of a sexual assault crime, note that you only have a limited amount of time to hold the liable party responsible. Each state is different, and while many of the statutes of limitations have been extended for victims of sexual abuse, one should not delay in seeking representation. There is much to discover in the preparation of a sexual assautl lawsuit, and the longer one waits, the harder it is to obtain witnesses, documents and other evidence. Do you have a question about the statute of limitations for your particular case? Reach out to our law firm at once.
We know from decades of social science and psychology research that there is no "right way" for sexual assault victims to react. Some immediately go to the police. Some take years to recognize what has happened. We don't judge or blame survivors who don't follow stereotypes about how rape victims "should" act-we look at each situation individually to understand what happened, how it happened, and how it could have been prevented. In addition to our experienced trial lawyers, we also have on staff two physicians and three registered nurses, one of whom is a certified rape counselor and sexual abuse crisis nurse.
