We have dedicated ourselves to serving survivors of childhood sexual abuse.
Are all lawyers who handle childhood sexual abuse lawsuits the same?
First off, there are only a handful of law firms with a substantial portion of their practice dedicated to CSA claims. We’ve built an entire team around serving those who have endured CSA. And we’ve been handling these cases for many years, serving numerous Canadians across the country.
Second, our firm, Preszler Injury Lawyers, has a reputation for taking on claims others might back down from. Defense lawyers know that when we show up, they can’t offer small amounts to our clients “because that’s what these cases are worth.” (Their words, not ours.)
Similarly, some lawyers think these cases should settle for less than we do. Not because the lawyers are ill-intentioned. Simply because they’ve fallen into the same trap the defense lawyers preach: “that’s all these cases are worth.”
We take a different approach.
We see how childhood sexual abuse creates uniquely complex trauma that ripples out and impacts virtually every corner of one’s life. This means that their careers are often affected, their relationships might struggle, substance misuse is common, and more.
None of those things are signs of “what’s wrong” with our client, but rather evidence of the harm itself. We work with additional experts to quantify the trauma’s impacts.
(Civil Justice cases essentially offer financial compensation as the core “remedy.” We recognize money doesn’t right wrongs, but it can help with creating institutional change, and it can make the healing journey a bit easier.)
Because our firm has such a substantial team that handles these cases, we’re able to devote significant resources to each client’s situation.
Finally, we’re focused on delivering the best possible experience to those who choose to travel this journey with us as their lawyers. This involves ongoing education on trauma and on being a trauma-informed team.
We are here for anyone who would like to explore if Civil Justice may have options for pursuing accountability and financial help for their childhood sexual abuse.
Free, confidential consultations are available with our team.
While we cannot help everyone due to how the laws work, we’re here to answer questions compassionately and help each person identify what’s available to them.
Institutions that looked the other way are being held accountable.
Churches, schools, non-profits, and other institutions have covered up the abuse of minors by priests, teachers, big brothers, scout leaders, and many others. Now, survivors of abuse in Ontario and British Columbia can get justice for years of suffering.
No type of abuse should ever be tolerated. Unfortunately, many victims do not report their abusers. Sexual abuse survivors are also often reluctant to discuss their abuse – even years later. Our lawyers are here to help. Contact us for a free consultation to see if you may be eligible for compensation.
Compensation can’t make up for years of pain, but it is one path to pursue justice and have your voice heard.
