Sexual Abuse
Justice and Healing for Survivors of Sexual Abuse
Have You or a Loved One Experienced Sexual Abuse?
No one should ever have to endure the pain and trauma caused by sexual abuse. Survivors face not only the immediate emotional and physical harm but often carry lifelong psychological and financial burdens. While no legal action can erase the past, holding abusers and the institutions that protect them accountable is a powerful step toward justice and healing.
At the law office of Aaron Boland, we are committed to standing with survivors and their families. Our firm provides compassionate, confidential support combined with the legal experience necessary to navigate these deeply sensitive cases. We understand the courage it takes to come forward, and we honor that bravery by fighting tirelessly for your rights and well-being.
Survivors have the right to pursue civil legal action against the individuals and organizations responsible (also see Church Abuse ). These lawsuits not only seek financial compensation for the harm endured but also send a powerful message that abuse and institutional cover-ups will not be tolerated. In many cases, survivors are awarded significant damages to support their lifelong recovery needs and compensate them for their pain, suffering, and emotional distress.
Survivors of sexual abuse may be entitled to compensation, regardless of whether law enforcement was involved. With some limited exceptions for minor, however, a civil claim for sexual abuse in New Mexico must be filed within 3 years. It is important to consultant with an attorney soon.
What You May Be Entitled To
Compensation for the cost of medical treatments, therapy, counseling, psychiatric treatment, and other mental health services required for recovery. Survivors often need long-term or even lifelong support to manage the emotional impact of this severe trauma.
Who Can Be Held Accountable in Civil Sexual Abuse Cases
Survivors of sexual abuse often discover that the harm they suffered was not only caused by an individual but was enabled or concealed by powerful institutions. Holding these abusers and organizations accountable not only helps survivors receive fair compensation but also works to prevent future abuse by encouraging meaningful institutional reforms. We will listen with compassion, offer clear guidance on your legal options, and fight for the best possible outcome in your case. In addition to the abuser, we pursue claims against a range of responsible parties, including:
Religious Institutions and Churches (see Church Abuse )
Schools, Colleges, and Universities
Youth Organizations (such as sports teams and scouting groups)
Healthcare Providers and Facilities
Employers and Professional Associations
Care Homes and Rehabilitation Centers
