After-School Programs & Youth Organization Sexual Abuse

Maine Lawyers for After-School Programs & Youth Organization Sexual Abuse 

At Berman & Simmons, we understand the immense pain and enduring trauma that survivors of sexual abuse carry. When child sex abuse occurs in places meant to be safe, like after-school programs and youth organizations, the betrayal can be overwhelming. We want you to know that we hear you, believe you, and are here to help.

For over a century, our firm has stood as a steadfast ally for those who have suffered serious harm. We have earned a reputation as one of Maine's leading personal injury law firms, and we bring that same level of commitment, proficiency, and compassion to every sexual abuse claim we handle. 

Taking this step is incredibly difficult, and we are committed to providing trauma-informed support throughout the process.

We offer confidential, free consultations with a Maine attorney for after-school programs and youth organization sexual abuse claims. Call us at (207) 417-4199 or submit our online contact form. Virtual appointments are available. 

What a Claim Can Do for You

Pursuing a legal claim for sexual abuse is about more than just financial compensation; it's about justice, accountability, and the long road to healing.

Compensation for your suffering: We can help you seek damages for the profound physical, emotional, and psychological trauma you have endured. This can include the following.

  • Past and future therapy and counseling expenses
  • Medical treatment
  • Lost wages or earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Other related expenses

Holding abusers and institutions accountable: A legal claim can force the responsible parties, including the individual abuser and the organization that enabled them, to acknowledge their wrongdoing. This can prevent future abuse and bring about much-needed institutional change.

A path towards healing and empowerment: While no amount of money can undo the past, a successful claim can provide resources for the support you need to heal. It can also be a decisive step in regaining control and finding a sense of closure. This process can be part of your journey to reclaim your life.
