If business managers, church personnel, or school administrators knew or should have known (by doing background checks or calling references) that the abuser was dangerous before he came into contact with you, they are responsible. If you believe you have a case like this, call us. Also, if abusers have insurance or large assets that can compensate you for your losses, call us.

If you are sexually abused make sure you do the following:

• Call the police as soon as possible
• Go to the hospital for help -time is critical in gathering evidence in your case
• If you believe that someone drugged you against your will– tell hospital personnel immediately.

If you have a child who discloses to you that he or she has been sexually abused:

• DO NOT PANIC. This will probably be the hardest piece of advice to follow, but please, keep as calm as possible under the circumstances so that you can get to the next steps.
• Call the police as soon as possible
• Go to the hospital for help -time is critical in gathering evidence in your case
• Ask for an interview for your child at your local child advocacy center. Child Advocacy Centers employ interviewers who are specifically trained to interview children and to build rapport with them in order to make the setting more comfortable. They are also trained to avoid asking leading questions in the interview so as to avoid suggesting information to your child.

Can I Sue for Sexual Assault?

Any form of unwanted behavior or advance is never okay and you should never have to live with the pain, turmoil, isolation, and other difficulties and suffering because someone had so little regard for other people that they attacked you sexually. When you were sexually harassed, assaulted, or abused by a professional or staff member who carries insurance for sexual misconduct liability, Burger Law’s sexual assault lawyers in St. Louis, Missouri will demand justice for you. We refuse to back down until you receive maximum compensation.

We know that dealing with the legal process of holding your attacker accountable may be the last thing you feel like doing. It is important for yourself and your community that the heinous attacker is made to pay for their abhorrent behavior. In addition to a criminal conviction, a sexual assault or abuse lawsuit is another way to do this while helping to restore you in the process. Your Burger Law attorney will handle everything and stand by your side every step of the way.

In order to make a recovery in a civil suit for a sexual abuse attack, the person or people responsible must be covered by special sexual misconduct insurance or will have to have extensive wealth and assets that the court can order to be paid to you. Find out how we can help you recover and make the responsible parties pay by speaking to one of our sexual assault lawyers now at (314) 500-HURT.

Our Attorneys have been Fighting for Survivors for almost 20 years

Fighting for crime victims is important to us. We fight to empower people and we stand up to criminals and bullies. We seek justice for survivors by filing lawsuits against perpetrators and the institutions that protect perpetrators.

Civil lawsuits seek monetary damages that are necessary for the care and recovery that a survivor needs. Lawsuits are also the only way to make people, corporations, schools, churches, and organizations work to protect people from the perpetrators that they employ. We work hard to ensure that if a person is abused, raped, or assaulted that person can recover, and also that the perpetrator is never able to harm again. We further stand strong against the institutions that failed to protect the people so that they make changes to ensure safety in the future. Call us today at (314) 500-HURT for a free consultation.

Client Reviews

What our clients are saying about us

Juanita Matthews

Year of 2023

This law firm is absolutely amazing. They took on my case, when nobody else would! They fought hard for me when it seemed there was no hope. They kept me informed and always asked for my input before making decisions on my case. Gary puts himself into every case unlike most law firm owners. Gary and his team really care about every one of their clients, and fights hard to get you a fair settlement. They actually won my case out of court, and then reduced my fees to make sure I could get my car fixed and be able to get back to some normality. I would recommend Burger Law over and above any other firm! If you go somewhere else you aren’t getting the best!

Gary and Casey took great care of me for 2.5 years as my lawsuit was finally settled. I feel he helped me achieve justice for me and my 4 children after their father died from medical malpractice and neglect. Thanks to Gary, my kids now have a great start to their college and adult lives. Thank you Gary and Casey, for fighting for us so hard at our most trying and difficult time in our lives thus far. Love and God bless from my family to yours!
