Because many states have reopened the statute of limitations for child sexual abuse claims, tens of thousands of civil cases have been and are continuing to be filed against both individuals and institutions where plaintiffs may have been employed, volunteered, or engaged services.

These cases can be challenging as well as rewarding, but the plaintiff-client may require special attention. This program will discuss proving the elements of the claims, damages, and finding insurance coverage, as well as advantages and pitfalls of both mediation and litigation.

Listen as our panel of esteemed attorneys in this field offers instruction on best strategies and practices for trying sexual abuse cases.
