Child Sexual Abuse Victim Attorneys in Washington & Idaho

Making Child Abusers & Molesters Pay for Their Misdeeds

There is no crime worse than a crime against a child, especially for the victims of child molestation. Child abuse and neglect have life-long ramifications for the victim, leaving deep physical and emotional scars. These young victims of abuse need to know that they are not alone and that the abuse is not their fault. We will work with you and your child to minimize any additional trauma of the investigation and to ensure that the abuser is brought to justice by being held financially and legally responsible for both the personal injury and economic losses caused by their acts. This area is a particular focus of our practice and we have been involved in litigating these cases, starting in 1977. Few lawyers have the experience, the compassion, or the gentle but firm demeanor that is uncommon in the courtroom.

There Are Two Main Types of Child Abuse: Sexual Abuse and Physical Abuse

Sexual abuse can include:

• Child Molestation or Rape of a Child

• Communication with a Minor for an Immoral Purpose;

• Exposure to sexual videos, games, pictures, or other images

• Forced viewing of sexual acts

• Any other lewd behavior

Physical child abuse is anything that results in a non-accidental injury to the child, such as:

• Shaking

• Hitting

• Burning

• Any other type of bodily harm

Abusers themselves can be held liable for their actions. But they will often have little or no financial ability to bear the cost of treatment and care required. In some cases, it is also possible to hold liable related third parties, such as schools, churches, employers, or daycare centers if it can be shown that they contributed to, or enabled, the abusers. The clearest examples of this are the tragic story of Penn State and its handling of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse, and the church's handling of clergy abuse. The law has no tolerance for those who abuse children or allow others to abuse children.
