  • Medical Expenses: Reimbursement for medical treatments, including physical and mental health care.
  • Lost Wages: Compensation for time missed from work or loss of future earning capacity.

Examples of
Real Case Compensation

  • A victim of workplace sexual harassment was awarded $6 million after proving systemic negligence by their employer.
  • A college student received $1.5 million in compensation for emotional distress caused by a professor’s misconduct.
  • A survivor of repeated abuse in a foster care system was awarded $10 million after evidence revealed the institution’s failure to act.

While every case is unique, these examples highlight the possibility of achieving meaningful justice through civil litigation.
