Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers represents victims of sexual abuse, child sexual abuse, sexual harassment and sexual assault in Los Angeles, CA and Los Angeles County, helping them recover justice and compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, professional harm, psychological treatment and more.
We provide free, confidential consultations and contingency fee representation to sexual abuse and sexual assault victims. Contingency fee representation means that clients don’t owe us any fees until and unless we recover compensation in their sexual abuse cases. The only fee we’ll ever charge you is a percentage of any money our sexual abuse lawyers recover on your behalf – you will never owe an upfront fee or out of pocket fee.
If you require medical or psychological treatment after your abuse and can’t afford treatment, we can get you to professionals who will treat you on a lien, which means that you will not be charged for your treatment until your case is over. We work with a network of the finest medical and mental health professionals in California who do this for our clients because they know we get great results for our clients.
We have been handling sexual abuse and assault cases since 1990 and have recovered hundreds of millions of dollars on behalf of our clients. Our experience will allow us to bring perpetrators to justice and recover the compensation you deserve.
You shouldn’t have to suffer in silence from the terrible actions of someone else. Call us today for a free, confidential consultation so we can recover the justice and compensation you deserve and, by doing so, hopefully prevent the perpetrator from abusing further victims.

Damages Available for Survivors of Sexual Abuse and Child Sexual Abuse
Sexual abuse is a very heinous act, and there needs to be consequences for it. Along with additional punishments for liable parties, Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers will fight to see that liable parties compensate survivors for harm caused by sexual acts.
Some damages which are recoverable in a civil lawsuit over sexual abuse or child sex abuse include:
Pain and Suffering
If you were sexually assaulted, you may have experienced physical pain. In addition, the psychological and emotional suffering you went through might be worse than the physical suffering you endured. Your abuse-related pain and suffering might include:
- Trouble sleeping
- Traumatic memories
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Depression
- Generalized or acute anxiety
- Loss of quality of life
- Substance abuse in order to cope with your abuse
Different victims of non-consensual sexual contact deal with trauma differently. We will work with you, experts and mental health professionals to identify the forms of pain and suffering you can recover compensation for.
Professional Harm
The emotional and psychological effects of sexual abuse or assault can cause working to be difficult. If your abuse interferes with the ability you have to work, then you might:
- Lose wages or salary
- Lose your job
- Miss out on a chance to earn retirement contributions and bonuses
- Lose earning power
- Experience additional professional damages
Your financial status and career are tied directly together, so we will fight to recover all the professional losses you experience. This is vital to helping you get back on track in life.
Psychological Treatment
PTSD is listed as a mental health consequence of sexual abuse by the ACOG. You might require PTSD treatment, as well as treatment for additional psychological symptoms.
We will seek to recover complete compensation for medications, counseling and additional treatments you will require for your sexual abuse symptoms.
Medical Expenses
You might have needed emergency observation following your sexual abuse. In addition, depending on the circumstances involving your abuse and any injuries which resulted, you might still be going through medical care. We will seek compensation for any medical bills resulting from your sexual abuse, whether they be for past or future medical expenses.
How to File a Sexual Abuse Claim in Los Angeles
It is the responsibility of a prosecutor to file criminal charges against perpetrators of sexual abuse in California. However, sexual abuse victims need to bring civil lawsuits against perpetrators if they wish to seek financial compensation.
Assistance is provided by the court system in California regarding things such as court forms, filing restraining orders and additional resources.
May I File a Sexual Abuse Claim on Behalf of My Loved One?
If you are the registered domestic partner or spouse of a sexual abuse survivor, you might be able to file a lawsuit over loss of consortium.
If you are a family member or loved one who witnessed sexual abuse, you might be able to sue over negligent infliction of emotional distress.
If your loved one died as a result of sexual assault or abuse, you might be able to file a survivor’s action or wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of your loved one’s estate.
Can I File a Claim if My Child Is an Abuse Survivor?
If your child is a survivor of sexual abuse, you can file a lawsuit on their behalf. In addition, if you suspect that your child has suffered harm, many resources are available to you. Resources are available to those who suspect or know their children have been sexually abused, including:
California Child Protective Services Agency
Rape and Incest National Network Tips
It is not a legal requirement to have an attorney to file a restraining order or claim. However, courts highly recommend for you to contact an attorney to guide you through what can be a very complex process.

If you or a loved one are a survivor of sexual abuse at the hands of police or probation officers, this represents serious misconduct which we can help you recover justice and compensation for. Call us today for a free, confidential consultation if you or a loved one were sexually abused or assaulted by a probation officer or police officer.
What Should I Do if I Was Sexually Abused?
What you should do after sexual abuse will depend upon the circumstances of your abuse. No matter what occurred, you should begin by making sure that you are safe and protecting your well-being. You may be in shock after being sexually assaulted at school, or outraged following workplace sexual harassment. It’s very common for survivors to feel overwhelmed as well.
In the event of criminal sexual assault, contact the police. This can preserve evidence regarding violent attacks like rape. If you are sexually harassed at work, report the perpetrator’s behavior. Employers are not allowed to retaliate against you for reporting harassment, but retaliation does occur, which is why you should contact a sexual abuse lawyer immediately.
It’s also important for you to seek medical attention if you got physically assaulted. You may wish to visit a healthcare provider and complete a rape kit before contacting police.
It’s vital to take as much time as you need to process trauma. Seek help from professionals and talk to those you trust. If it’s possible, seek assistance from someone with specific training in sexual trauma. It’s vital for you to have a safe space which allows you to learn to process the trauma you’ve gone through and reduce any negative psychological impact.
Consider all of your legal options if you haven’t already contacted a lawyer. Some survivors of abuse know they desire to go through with legal action, especially filing criminal charges, when it’s applicable. Regarding other survivors, it’s not always clear what the right course of action is. Harassment and abuse often involve somebody you know. Talking with a sexual abuse lawyer or filing a police report can give you clarity and a sense of power.
