Types of Child Sexual Abuse Claims
Employers and institutions that are entrusted with the care of children must do everything within reason to protect those children from harm, including the devastating harm of sexual abuse. When an employer or institution fails to uphold this obligation and unshakable duty, it is only right to ask what happened and how its failures led to child sexual abuse or assault. If the employer or institution did something wrong or negligent, we can look for evidence that proves as much, setting the groundwork for a child sexual abuse lawsuit filed in a Michigan civil court.
Grewal Law PLLC has the experience and resources needed to handle all sorts of child sexual abuse cases, such as:
- Church sexual abuse: We can file civil lawsuits against any church or religious institution. Although the Catholic Church has been at the center of a long-lasting media frenzy about child sexual abuse cases, cases can be brought against any religious institution or sect that harbored people who abused children.
- Boy Scout sexual abuse: In recent years, lawsuits have added up against the Boy Scouts of America for failing to act on credible accusations of child sexual assault committed by Boy Scouts and troop leaders.
- School sexual abuse: Schools and school districts can be held liable through a civil lawsuit for any child sexual abuse carried out by a teacher or another staff member.
- Foster care abuse: Children in foster care who have been subjected to sexual abuse deserve justice. We are here to help you explore your options if you have learned that your child was abused while in foster care, or if you were abused years ago as a foster child.

Are Criminal Charges Against the Offender Required?
You can file a child sexual abuse lawsuit against any offender or institution that harbored an offender, regardless of any pending or resolved criminal charges. In fact, you have the right to bring a lawsuit against any defendant in civil court with credible or compelling evidence, even when relevant law enforcement agencies have said that there will be no criminal charges filed against that defendant. The criminal justice system is intentionally kept separate from the civil justice system for this reason and others.
