Sexual Assault

Connecticut Sexual Assault Victim Lawyer

If you were a child victim of sexual assault by a priest, schoolteacher, Boy Scout leader, psychiatrist, counselor, or other adult, you don’t have to remain silent. Where a trusted organization failed to protect you, a civil lawsuit can compensate you and provide a sense of closure. The lawyers at Silver Golub & Teitell LLP are experienced in handling cases of clergy sexual abuse, teacher sexual abuse, Boy Scout sexual abuse, and other types of sexual molestation of children by adults.

Our Connecticut sexual assault victim lawyers understand how difficult it is for people who were abused as children to come forward as adults and seek justice. The state of Connecticut has several laws that affect victims’ rights to file civil actions against their abusers and the organizations that failed to protect them. In Connecticut, people who were sexually abused as children have until age 48 to file a civil lawsuit in some circumstances. If you want to keep your identity confidential, there are times you can bring a legal action under the alias of John Doe or Jane Doe, in order to protect your privacy and prevent further harm to you.

At Silver Golub & Teitell LLP, we treat all calls from Connecticut sexual assault victims sensitively and confidentially. Several of our attorneys are former prosecutors who represented victims in criminal cases involving rape, statutory rape, molestation, and sexual assault of minors. As civil litigation attorneys, we have successfully brought sexual assault lawsuits against the Bridgeport Catholic Diocese, the Boys Scouts of America, as well as psychiatric institutions.
