Many families choose boarding schools believing they offer discipline, opportunity, and safety. But when a trusted school environment becomes a place of abuse, survivors are left with emotional scars that may last a lifetime. Across Maryland, survivors of sexual abuse in boarding schools are stepping forward—and seeking justice through civil lawsuits.
Our legal team helps survivors hold schools accountable for failing to protect students from sexual abuse, whether the misconduct was committed by teachers, counselors, coaches, administrators, or fellow students.
Common Legal Grounds in These Cases Include:
Failure to investigate or report abuse
Inadequate supervision of students or staff
Hiring employees with a known history of misconduct
Attempting to cover up or minimize incidents
Creating an unsafe environment for vulnerable minors
You may be entitled to compensation for the pain you endured and for the ways in which the abuse has impacted your life.
You May Recover Compensation For:
Mental health treatment and recovery resources
Emotional suffering and trauma
Educational setbacks or lost opportunities
Career disruption or long-term psychological impact
Punitive damages for institutional wrongdoing
We provide completely confidential case evaluations and take every measure to support our clients with compassion and care.
