Can a Personal Injury Attorney Protect and Defend the rights of Child Sexual Abuse Victims?
If you’re wondering whether a personal injury lawyer can defend the rights of a sexual abuse victim, the answer is a resounding yes. At Fadduol, Cluff, Hardy & Conaway P.C., we are dedicated to ensuring that victims of sexual abuse receive the justice and compensation they deserve.
One of the most critical ways we protect the rights of sexual abuse victims is by filing lawsuits promptly. In New Mexico, there’s typically a one-year window after a victim’s 18th birthday to file a lawsuit for sexual abuse. While there are exceptions to this rule, it’s crucial to initiate legal action within this timeframe to maximize your chances of seeking justice.
As civil plaintiff lawyers, we also play a crucial role in safeguarding evidence from being destroyed or lost. Preserving this evidence is vital for building a strong case and ensuring that the necessary proof is available if a lawsuit proceeds to trial.
By advocating for victims and ensuring that their cases are handled with sensitivity and expertise, we aim to empower survivors of sexual abuse to seek legal recourse and hold perpetrators accountable.
If you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual abuse, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at Fadduol, Cluff, Hardy & Conaway P.C. Our compassionate team is here to provide support, guidance, and legal representation to help you navigate this challenging time.
