Does Connecticut law allow for a recovery of damages caused by child sex abuse?
Yes. Connecticut law allows a claim for recovery of legal damages caused by child sex abuse. Damages might include compensation for past and future medical expenses, lost wages, the impairment of earning capacity, permanent residual injuries and emotional pain and suffering. In addition, certain situations would also allow claims for “loss of consortium”. It is important to consult with a lawyer with experience in this area to discuss your specific case.
I am unable to pay a lawyer an hourly fee for services, can I get a free consultation to discuss my child sex abuse case?
Yes. This firm accepts these matters on a “contingency” fee basis. This means that there will only be a legal fee charged if there is a financial recovery in connection with your case. If there is a financial recovery, the contingency fee charged will be consistent with those charges allowed under Connecticut law along with any case related expenses. If there is no financial recovery, you will owe us nothing.
