Waco School Sexual Assault Lawyers
To truly put into perspective the universal disgust at and condemnation of the sexual assault of minors, one needs only to consider that even hardened criminals tend to judge those who are convicted of these crimes as the lowest of the low. But as the parents of a child who has been the victim of sexual assault at school or on the playground are painfully aware, these vicious acts still persist. Teachers and other school personnel have a legal and moral obligation to protect the children in their care, and the failure to accomplish this is inexcusable.
The sad and unfortunate reality is that the effects of these egregious violations of trust have consequences that may last for a lifetime. For compassionate legal representation in your efforts to secure the financial compensation that you are due, contact the Waco school sexual assault lawyers of the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C., at 877-948-4842.
Benefits of a Civil Action in Sexual Assault Cases
In cases of child sexual assault, a criminal prosecution may serve the greatest social good if a conviction is obtained because it results in the removal of a dangerous individual from free society. Yet it does little to address the true needs of the victim and his or her family apart from the desire to see justice done. Potential benefits of a civil action brought against negligent school personnel include:
- Financial compensation for medical care necessitated by the assault
- Financial compensation for present and future therapy
- Damages for emotional anguish
- Other considerations on a case by case basis
