Helping victims of sexual assault seek justice
Nursing home sexual abuse is a severe issue affecting vulnerable residents and their families, with nearly 2,000 reports filed in 2023 alone. Victims have legal rights, including seeking justice and compensation for medical expenses and emotional suffering. Legal accountability is crucial for ensuring safety in care facilities.
Nursing home sexual abuse is a troubling issue, particularly in New York and New Jersey, with studies indicating nearly 20% of residents may be affected. Many cases go unreported, and victims, often cognitively impaired, face grave risks. Legal support is vital for those seeking justice and accountability for such trauma.
Workplace harassment is a pressing issue, with reports rising nearly 50% according to the EEOC. Many victims choose silence due to fear of retaliation or lack of trust in employers. Victims can seek legal redress for emotional distress and lost wages, with strong laws in New York and New Jersey supporting their rights.
Sexual assault remains a critical issue in the U.S., affecting people of all ages, with alarming statistics from 2024 showing that every 68 seconds, someone is assaulted. Most cases go unreported, highlighting the challenges survivors face. Workplaces are also sites of harassment. Legal support is available for those seeking justice.
Nine women have accused a senior physician at Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Colorado Springs of ongoing sexual assault and harassment spanning a decade. Despite frequent complaints to HR, the alleged misconduct went unchecked. The most serious incident occurred at a 2022 Christmas party. Encompass Health has responded, revoking the physician's permission to provide patient care, while an EEOC investigation is underway. The women, who claim significant personal costs due to the harassment, plan to take legal action.
