Your Sexual Assault & Abuse Questions, Answered

Can I pursue a sexual abuse claim if the abuse happened a long time ago?

Yes. The courts in Atlantic Canada recognize that the trauma from sexual abuse often prevents victims from coming forward immediately. There are no strict time limits for pursuing claims related to sexual abuse, which means you may be able to take legal action and hire a sexual assault lawyer for your claim even if the abuse occurred many years ago.

Who can I file a claim against?

You can file a claim against individuals, institutions, or organizations responsible for the abuse. This may include perpetrators, employers, schools, religious organizations, or other entities that failed to protect you or enabled the abuse.

What kind of compensation can I seek?

Victims of sexual abuse may seek compensation for physical, emotional, and psychological harm, as well as for related expenses such as therapy or counseling. In some cases, your sexual abuse lawyer may recover loss of income, and punitive damages may also be awarded.

What if I’m not sure I can remember all the details of what happened?

It’s common for survivors of abuse to have fractured or incomplete memories. Your sexual assault lawyer can help you piece together your case based on available evidence and your account. Even partial memories can form the foundation of a successful claim.

Do I have to go to court to pursue a claim?

Not necessarily. Many sexual abuse claims are resolved through negotiations with a sexual abuse lawyer, or settlements outside of court. However, if it is in your best interest, we are prepared to represent you in court to achieve justice.

How do I get started with a claim?

The first step is to book a confidential consultation with a sexual assault lawyer on our team. During this meeting, we will listen to your story, assess your case, and provide guidance on your legal options.
