Sexual Abuse Protecting Rights. Pursuing Justice.

Irvine Sexual Abuse Lawyers

Survivors of sexual abuse deserve justice that goes beyond criminal convictions. While criminal cases can result in punitive actions against an offender, they often do little to address the lasting harm survivors endure. Civil lawsuits present the opportunity for survivors to pursue compensation for medical costs, therapy, lost wages, emotional distress, and other damages.

At Jackson APC, we are committed to standing up for survivors of sexual abuse and holding perpetrators accountable in court. With a proven record of trial success and tireless dedication to clients, turn to our Irvine sexual abuse lawyers for the compassionate representation and fierce advocacy you deserve.

Why Pursue a Civil Lawsuit for Sexual Abuse?

A civil lawsuit allows survivors to directly confront those who wronged them, whether it is an individual perpetrator or an organization that enabled or failed to stop the abuse. This process can bring their harmful actions to light and help drive larger systemic change by sending a clear message that such behavior is unacceptable. 

Additionally, civil lawsuits allow survivors to recover compensation for damages. Although no sum of money can undo the abuse's harm, it can provide the resources necessary for healing and rebuilding a future.

Of course, taking legal action can be about so much more than financial compensation. It can be empowering. A civil lawsuit offers a platform for survivors to share their stories and reclaim the control that was taken from them. By stepping forward, many survivors find strength and closure in knowing their voices have been heard, and their bravery may inspire others to speak out against abuse. 

The Damages Available in Sexual Abuse Cases

Economic and non-economic damages of varying amounts may be available in your sexual abuse case. Below, we describe the differences between these two types of damages and provide examples of them. 

Economic Damages

Economic damages account for the financial losses survivors have experienced as a result of the abuse. 

These damages are based on measurable losses, such as:

  • The costs of treatment related to physical injuries or other health complications arising from the abuse
  • The costs of critical mental health services that are necessary for healing 
  • Lost wages from time missed at work, reduced job opportunities, and diminished ability to earn future income

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages address the deeply personal and emotional toll of sexual abuse. While these losses are not tied to a monetary figure, they are equally vital in recognizing the harm survivors have suffered.

Non-economic damages may include compensation for:

  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress, from anxiety and depression to other mental health challenges
  • Disruptions in a survivor's ability to find comfort, joy, or satisfaction in everyday activities and relationships

Across our practice areas, we have recovered millions in damages for people harmed by recklessness, negligence, and deliberate abuse. You can see how we have helped some of our clients on our site’s case results page.
