Sexual abuse can leave invisible wounds that last a lifetime—but you are not alone. Whether the abuse occurred recently or long ago, the attorneys at Schwed, Adams & McGinley, P.A. are here to provide survivors in Chattanooga with compassionate guidance and powerful legal representation.
Who May Be Liable in a Chattanooga Sexual Abuse Case?
In many cases, someone other than the perpetrator had the opportunity—and the obligation—to stop the abuse but didn't. Our attorneys can pursue claims against:
- The individual who committed the abuse
- Schools or universities that ignored or covered up abuse
- Religious groups or clergy members who concealed misconduct
- Youth organizations, daycare providers, or coaching programs
- Property owners who failed to secure their premises
- Employers who negligently hired or retained abusers
We conduct a comprehensive investigation to determine who can be held accountable and develop a plan to pursue justice and compensation.
