Survivors of sexual abuse in Austin, Texas, face emotional, physical, and psychological challenges that may last long after the abuse ends. Whether the trauma occurred in childhood or as an adult, taking legal action can be a critical step toward healing, empowerment, and justice. Our Austin sexual abuse attorneys are here to help guide you through this process with sensitivity and strength.
Sexual abuse takes many forms and can happen in a wide range of environments—public schools, churches, universities, medical institutions, foster care, and private homes. Survivors often suffer in silence due to fear, shame, or pressure from their communities. But you don’t have to face this journey alone. The law in Texas allows survivors to hold not only their abusers accountable but also institutions that enabled or ignored the abuse.
Civil lawsuits offer survivors the chance to pursue compensation for medical treatment, counseling, loss of income, pain and suffering, and long-term trauma. If the abuse involved gross negligence or cover-up by an institution, punitive damages may also apply.
In recent years, Texas has improved protections for survivors, including extending the statute of limitations for victims of child sexual abuse. However, deadlines still apply. Speaking to a lawyer early ensures your rights are preserved and your case is properly prepared.
At our Austin firm, we believe every survivor deserves to be treated with dignity, heard without judgment, and supported without pressure. Your first consultation is 100% free and confidential. We only get paid if we win your case.
You have the courage. We have the experience to help you pursue justice.
