For many months now, it’s been impossible to open a newspaper or watch the TV news without a sexual abuse story cropping up. From celebrity scandals involving actors and TV stars, to catalogues of abuse by pillars of the community like priests, teachers and care workers, the issue has never been more firmly in the public eye. Even government ministers have been dragged in, with the latest scandal focusing on allegations of sexual harassment within the Liberal Democrat party.
It’s a sad indictment of today’s nation that sexual abuse accusations for both past and present offences are rife across all sectors of society. Where offenders are still alive, the perpetrators (where guilty) can be brought to justice. But where does that leave the victims of sexual abuse, all too often left to cope alone with the after-effects of horrific experiences? Long-term problems such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and other psychological issues are common – and some victims never fully recover.
Injury Lawyers 4U is here to help victims of sexual abuse get the compensation they deserve and need to move on with their lives. Our experienced solicitors specialise in personal injury law. We’ll give you the expert advice you need to decide if you can claim, and then help you get the compensation to which you’re entitled.
Of course, no amount of money can make up for the abuse itself. But by claiming compensation, you’ll gain financial peace of mind and the means to access the support you need to recover – whether that’s counselling, medical treatment, a career break, or a long holiday overseas. On top of that, bringing your experiences to light could prevent other people falling victim to your abuser in the future.

You can make a claim for sexual abuse that was either verbal or physical (or both), whether it happened at home, at school, at work or in a public place. It doesn’t matter if the abuse happened to you as a child or an adult – you can still claim. However, some types of sexual and physical abuse claims are subject to time limits, so it’s important to make a claim as soon as possible.
