Types Of Sexual Assault Cases
Teachers, clergy, healthcare professionals, coaches, and other individuals in a position of authority and trust are increasingly being sued for child sexual assault and abuse. In many cases, the institutions or businesses that enabled the abuse are also held liable in civil lawsuits. When sexual assault at a nursing home occurs, a civil claim may be brought against offending staff members, administrators, or other negligent parties who allowed the abuse to take place.
Not all incidents involve violence or physical injury, but every non-consensual sexual offense exacts some level of emotional distress – injuries that cannot be seen, but impact and undermine just the same.
At Crowe Arnold & Majors, LLP, we guide victims with kindness and compassion through each stage of the litigation process. We build a strong case that demands reparations for the full extent of our client’s emotional anguish and suffering. Victims deserve to be compensated for sexual abuse that has diminished their self-esteem, upended personal relationships, caused post-traumatic stress, and other long-standing problems.
We often see a blatant abuse of positions of trust in educational settings, church settings, long-term nursing care facilities, and the workplace.

- Rape and attempted rape
- Abuse in the workplace
- Child and teen sexual abuse
