Doctor & Medical Sexual Abuse Lawyer

Sexual abuse by a doctor includes any sexual contact, comment, or behavior that is not a legitimate part of your medical care. This ranges from inappropriate touching during an exam and ungloved or unnecessary contact, to sexual remarks, exposure, or assault. If something felt wrong, you are allowed to question it — and to talk to us about it.

No. You do not need physical evidence, a police report, or witnesses to reach out. A consultation is simply a conversation where you share what you remember and we explain your options. Your attorney handles gathering medical records, prior complaints, and other evidence. Your account of what happened matters, and you are believed.

Yes, in many cases. If a hospital, clinic, or medical group negligently hired, supervised, or retained a provider — or ignored earlier complaints — it can be held responsible alongside the individual. Institutions often have a duty to protect patients, and holding them accountable can also help prevent future abuse.

Nothing upfront. These cases are handled on a contingency basis, which means you pay no fee unless we recover compensation for you. The initial consultation is always free and confidential, and there is no obligation. Cost should never stand between you and the support you deserve.

There are deadlines, called statutes of limitations, but they vary by state and by the details of your case — and many states have expanded or extended them for sexual abuse survivors. Some allow extra time for abuse discovered later or that happened in childhood. Rather than guess, let us review the specific facts; the safest step is to ask.

Compensation can cover therapy and medical care, lost income, and the pain, trauma, and loss of trust you've endured. In some cases, additional damages may apply when an institution acted with extreme disregard for patient safety. No amount undoes the harm, but it can fund healing and signal that what happened to you was wrong.

Most civil claims resolve through confidential settlements without a trial, so many survivors never face the person who hurt them in a courtroom. If your case does move forward, your attorney prepares and supports you every step of the way and works to protect your dignity. You are never thrown into anything alone.

Yes. Everything you share is private and protected. We understand how hard it is to come forward, especially about a trusted medical provider, and we treat your story with care. You control what happens next, who is involved, and the pace — nothing moves forward without you.

Yes. A civil claim is separate from the criminal system and has a lower burden of proof. Even if charges were never filed, were dropped, or ended without a conviction, you may still have the right to pursue justice and compensation through a civil case. The two paths are independent.

You can still reach out. Many survivors come forward years or even decades later — that is common and understandable, especially with trauma involving a trusted authority figure. Laws in many states now give survivors more time, and some have opened special windows to file. Let us review your timeline before assuming it's too late.
