Civil Justice After Sexual Abuse

While criminal courts aim to punish abusers, civil lawsuits are designed to help survivors rebuild. If you’ve experienced abuse in a medical, school, or care setting, you may be entitled to compensation for emotional trauma, lost wages, medical treatment, and long-term care.


We help survivors pursue claims against:

  • ✔  Hospitals and healthcare systems
    ✔  Nursing homes and care facilities
    ✔  Public and private schools
    ✔  Universities and colleges
    ✔  Religious organizations

 

  • How We Help Survivors

  • ✔  Confidential Support: Your privacy and comfort are our top priorities.
    ✔  Experienced Representation: We’ve handled complex personal injury and medical malpractice cases across Connecticut.
    ✔  Institutional Accountability: We pursue both individual and organizational negligence where appropriate.
    ✔  No Fee Unless We Win: You pay nothing unless we recover compensation on your behalf.
Attorney Russell Berkowitz is a very professional, knowledgeable, and hardworking attorney. He fights extremely hard for each and every one of his clients showing how much he truly cares about helping them. I highly recommend him and his firm to everyone.
