Experiencing sexual abuse, or learning that a family member has been victimized in this way, is shattering. In addition to a criminal case that may be brought against the perpetrator, the victim may also pursue a civil action. Handling these civil cases, however, can present a unique challenge.
What does New Jersey law currently provide for victims of sexual abuse? At this program, our esteemed panel will address the civil cause of action, defenses to sexual abuse claims against institutions and individual clients, and the liability and insurance issues that follow.
This panel will provide invaluable insight for both experienced and new attorneys on a difficult topic – recourse available to victims of sex abuse for trauma, physical pain, emotional pain and more. Join us and learn how to strategically litigate these claims.
