If you or someone you love survived sexual abuse, you are entitled to justice. Obtaining criminal justice, though, is not always sufficient. As a survivor, you could also be entitled to recover financial compensation. Compensation can come from the perpetrator and others who are liable for the abuse you endured. Recovering damages on your own can be challenging and emotionally charged. Fortunately, you do not have to fight for compensation on your own.
