Sexual abuse is a devastating violation that can affect every aspect of a survivor’s life. In Salisbury, Maryland, victims of sexual abuse—whether as children or adults—deserve justice, support, and the opportunity to reclaim their voice. At our firm, we stand alongside survivors, helping them pursue accountability and compensation through civil lawsuits.
If you or a loved one experienced sexual abuse by a trusted figure—such as a teacher, religious leader, doctor, caregiver, or institutional staff member—you may have the right to file a civil claim against both the abuser and the organization responsible for enabling or failing to prevent the misconduct.
When Institutions Can Be Held Liable
Many survivors are unaware that liability can extend beyond the individual perpetrator. Civil lawsuits can also name:
Churches and dioceses that reassigned or ignored known abusers
Schools or daycare centers with inadequate supervision
Hospitals and clinics that failed to report or address misconduct
Employers that failed to protect vulnerable individuals
Youth organizations or group homes with negligent policies
Even if the abuse occurred many years ago, changes in Maryland law may still allow survivors to seek justice through the civil system.
What You May Be Entitled to Recover
A successful civil lawsuit may result in compensation for:
Counseling and mental health services
Medical expenses related to the abuse
Emotional distress and trauma
Lost income or reduced future earnings
Punitive damages for gross institutional negligence
Every case is unique, and we handle yours with the care and confidentiality it deserves.
