California Child Molestation Victim Attorneys

The attorneys at Estey & Bomberger have extensive experience representing victims of child abuse and sexual molestation. Child molestation is a traumatic event, which can cause permanent psychological and emotional scars.

Legal Considerations

Sexual abuse in children (molestation) is an intentional act of abuse.  Child molesters are very often a person a child knows and is familiar with. Some examples include, coaches, friends of parents, teachers, clergy, scout troop leaders, relatives and day car providers. Victims of sexual abuse may bring a civil claim for physical and emotional damages. Through a civil claim, our attorneys can hold a child molester or their employer financially responsible for damages or sexual abuse.  A claim can be brought directly against the abuser, or the abuser’s employer, if that entity was negligent in screening, hiring or supervising the abusive employee.

Child Abuse and Liability of Schools and Organizations

Many times child abusers are employees or otherwise associated with organizations such as schools, nonprofit youth leadership organizations, churches, hospitals or organized sporting groups. When a child involved in one of these organizations is abused or molested, the organization may be liable for not protecting the child, and for failing to prevent the act from occurring.
