Medford Sexual Abuse Attorney

We Fighting for sexual abuse victims has been extremely rewarding for our firm. Perhaps our most rewarding case is one where we put 2,000 attorney-hours into the fight for two young molestation victims. We ended up taking everything the child molester had, which wasn’t a lot, but which helped his two young victims got some help with college later in life.

Other sexual abuse cases we’ve handled had bigger targets to get a more just financial recovery for our clients, like a spa that hired a pervert-masseuse with a history of sexual abuse. The spa’s insurance lawyers laughed at our claim, that is until we dug around and found out that the abuser had done it before to someone else who had warned the new employer about him. That’s when they stopped laughing and decided to settle. It helped that our client had just hit the front page of the newspaper for heroically saving a busload of kids when their YMCA bus driver had a heart attack at the wheel.

A lot of a case’s success centers on whether or not the employer (of the daycare, spa, rest home, school, drug rehab program) blindly hired the abuser (“negligent hire/retention”), or if they had notice he/she was an abuser.

The police/DA often work up the criminal side of sex abuse cases, and their investigation can help leverage a settlement from the insurance company after the criminal case is done.

Another example of how insurance companies refuse to treat injury victims with any dignity happened in Southern Oregon: A private preschool failed to check into its bus driver’s dark past. Their driver abused the kids for months while the school ignored all the red flags. The kids were scarred for life. Yet when it came time to make it right, the insurance company fought with ugly zeal against each child’s claim. Deny and delay at each turn, appeals were filed, and the kids were harmed further by the legal process: By the time the insurance paid, the kids were teens!
