Sexual Abuse Attorneys
All too often, we hear disturbing reports of sexual abuse and misconduct by trusted members of society, such as day care providers, church leaders, camp counselors, teachers and security personnel. Most often, women and children are the victims of such heinous acts, sustaining physical injuries and emotional scars that last a lifetime.
People who commit this type of abuse typically pursue positions of power and trust within our communities. They then use their position to gain influence over their victims-people who trust them. Criminal prosecution usually ensues when abusers are caught; however, employers and organizations that allow these abusive individuals to hold positions of authority often go unpunished. At Stephens & Anderson, we believe that these organizations bear significant responsibility when they fail to properly screen and supervise their employees or when they choose to ignore the obvious warning signs of abusive personnel.
Stephens & Anderson has been leading the way in holding these employers and organizations responsible for their negligent hiring and management practices through civil litigation. With a proven record of success securing significant settlements and verdicts for sexual abuse victims, our Fort Worth sexual abuse attorneys are prepared to help you receive the justice you deserve. In one of our most well-known cases, we were able to secure one of the largest settlements per victim in the U.S. for egregious sexual misconduct that occurred at a nationally known church. If you or someone you love has been a victim of sexual abuse or sexual misconduct, please contact one of our Fort Worth attorneys for a free consultation.
