Florida Personal Injury Claims vs. Criminal Trials

When you’re sexually abused by another person, they may already be facing criminal charges for their actions. Although that can give you closure and a sense justice, it doesn’t pay for your mental, emotional, and physical care. Criminal trials aren’t meant to compensate you for your losses. They’re instead meant to punish the wrongdoer for their actions. 

Luckily, you’ll still be able to file a lawsuit for your West Palm Beach sexual abuse lawsuit. Although you’ll have to wait for the criminal trial to end, you’ll be eligible for compensation after you file your lawsuit. Your lawyer can represent you in court, too, so you have someone on your side when you’re facing your abuser.

These losses are intangible, but they certainly impact your quality of life. Your West Palm Beach sex abuse lawyer can step in to help you identify, quantify, and fight for your monetary recompense.
