How do I know whether I should pursue a sex abuse claim?

We believe your well being and the well being of your family and loved ones is more important than money or legal action. However, if you or a loved one has suffered as a victim of sexual assault, you should seek the opinion of a qualified sexual assault attorney to determine whether you have a personal injury case. A criminal prosecution is meant to punish the abuser but damages can provide money for a victim’s counseling, medical care, pain and suffering and the long-term trauma associated with the abuse.

Do I really need to hire an attorney or should I handle my own sexual assault – plaintiff claim?

To determine whether or not you have a viable sex abuse claim it is often necessary to hire a qualified attorney. Our law firm will investigate the facts, identify potential legitimate sources for recovery and file a lawsuit to fight for financial compensation for sex abuse victims. It is common for a lawyer to obtain a settlement five to twenty times the amount a person would receive by fighting on their own.

How much do I have to pay to pursue a claim?

There are no upfront costs or fees paid by our clients to pursue a sex abuse claim as we provide representation on a contingency fee basis for personal injury cases. While you will not incur any attorney fees if you do not win your case, Washington State law requires clients to reimburse the law firm for out-of-pocket expenses. Our firm advances out-of-pocket costs for our sex abuse clients and does not require our clients to pay any of these costs up front. When cases are concluded with a monetary recovery, our firm is repaid for the out-of-pocket costs we have advanced with a percentage of the settlement.
