Savannah
Sexual Abuse Lawyer

People who use their power to sexually abuse others want their victims to feel alone. In reality, victims of sexual abuse – including you – have legal allies ready to go to bat for them. If you’re struggling with an abusive situation and want justice for your losses, our Savannah sexual abuse lawyers can hold your abuser accountable for your mistreatment.

John Foy & Associates offers legal representation on a contingency fee basis. Our Savannah personal injury lawyers can take your sexual abuse case to civil court, where we can argue for your right to damages based on your emotional distress and physical injuries. 

We’ve secured over $1 billion on behalf of our clients. The Strong Arm can do the same for you.

Savannah Sexual Abuse Lawyers Can Fight for Justice on Your Behalf

Georgia’s civil system allows you to demand damages in the wake of someone else’s abuse. Those damages can help you pay for essential medical care and the restoration of damaged property. In most cases, an experienced sexual abuse attorney in Savannah can also argue for your right to damages based on your emotional distress or pain and suffering.

The civil system operates in parallel to the criminal system. In other words, you can pursue a civil case against your abuser at the same time police officers pursue a criminal case against that same person. In fact, if Georgia convicts your abuser of a misdemeanor or felony, you can submit that conviction as proof of abuse alongside your civil case.

Where does your attorney come into play throughout this process? Our team of attorneys specializes in providing sexual abuse survivors with services that suit those survivors’ long-term recovery goals. You can work with us to:

• Classify the abuse you suffered
• Find the evidence necessary to meet or exceed Georgia’s burden of proof
• Calculate the value of the damages you want to take away from a case
• Minimize your contact with an abuser and affiliated parties
• Prevent abusers and other parties from minimizing your losses or compromising your recovery
• Stay on top of all of your relevant filing deadlines

We Hold the Right People Accountable for Your Abuse

You can fall victim to sexual abuse in a wide variety of scenarios. Fortunately, our team knows how to address different types of sexual violence. If you turn to John Foy & Associates for legal support, you’ll have the opportunity to work with our:

We can take legal action against other minors as well as authority figures who should have had their wards’ best interests in mind.
• Savannah Boy Scouts Sexual Abuse Lawyers: These attorneys are prepared to fight back against individual Boy Scout representatives as well as the Boy Scout institution. We don’t let the sexual abuse of a minor go unanswered.
• Savannah Clergy Abuse Lawyers: Our attorneys are well-versed in tackling cases addressing the complex relationships abuse victims have with religious authority figures. You can count on us to take your faith into consideration while also advocating for justice in the wake of an authority figure’s abuse.
• Savannah School Sexual Abuse Lawyers: Our Savannah sexual abuse lawyers will fight to hold teachers, school staff members, volunteers, and any other affiliated parties accountable for the sexual abuse protected children might suffer at their hands.

Proving Your Right to a Sexual Abuse Case

Georgia’s burden of proof requires you to bring forward enough evidence to prove that someone non-consensually touched you or engaged with you in a sexual manner. Your testimony can make it easier to start building your case, but you’re under no obligation to return to the scene of an incident to help attorneys gather the data needed to finalize your claim.

Instead, John Foy & Associates collaborates with professional investigators to:

• Find relevant security footage of an incident if it’s available
• Speak with witnesses if they’re available
• Work with medical professionals to assess your physical injuries and/or DNA evidence of assault
• Secure electronic data, including text messages, chat logs, and emails, as relevant

Again, we want to prioritize your right to feel safe in the wake of an instance of sexual abuse. You can trust us to keep you up to date on the status of our investigation without us re-exposing you to traumatic data or putting you in contact with an abuser.

You Can Ask for Damages Based on Your Losses

When filing a sexual abuse claim against an abuser, you have the right to demand compensation based on the economic and non-economic suffering you endured at that abuser’s hands. Your specific circumstances and losses will influence the value of your final settlement.

Our team can advocate for your right to include losses like the following in your claim:

• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Long-lasting trauma
• Reduced quality of life
• Emergency medical care, as necessary
• OBGYN and pregnancy care, as necessary
• Long-term medical care
• Lost wages and/or your inability to return to work
• Property damage 

You Do Not Have to Negotiate With Your Abuser

Most of today’s civil cases indeed come to a conclusion during settlement negotiations. However, you are under no obligation to negotiate for financial support with someone who abused you. Our team can put a safe distance between you and an abuser, ensuring you’re not re-exposed to a dangerous individual while you’re fighting to recover.

Our sexual abuse lawyers in Savannah, GA, are experienced litigators. We’re not afraid to take your sexual abuse case to civil court. If you’d rather waive your right to settlement negotiations and argue for abuse damages in front of a judge, we can prepare you to undergo:

• Discovery
• Opening statements
• Examination
• Cross-examination
• Closing statements
• Deliberation and verdict
