Victims of Sexual Abuse Claims

We recognize that no amount of money can ever make up for the harm suffered by victims of sexual abuse.  However, those that have suffered sexual abuse, either as a young person or later in life, may bring a claim against the person who carried out the abuse and caused damage.

Our experienced lawyers understand that sexual abuse claims are delicate and difficult claims, as they sometimes involve family members and often involve embarrassing circumstances.  We are committed to assisting  people in these situations with dignity, compassion and strict confidentiality. 

Not every claim should be pursued, but we believe that it is useful for sexual abuse victims to sit down with a legal professional to discuss the claim, as well as their goals and objectives in pursuing a claim.  Within this area, there is also the possibility of making a claim to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board.  This alternative might be considered in circumstances where it would be ineffective to bring an action against the perpetrator.

If you require assistance with a sexual abuse claim, contact one of our personal injury lawyers at Evans, Bragagnolo & Sullivan in Timmins or Temiskaming Shores.
