At Longo Lawyers we handle institutional sexual abuse cases with the utmost care and discretion. We know how brave it is for survivors to come forward and seek justice for the harm they suffered within institutions they trusted. The breach of trust in institutional sexual abuse creates lifelong trauma for survivors. Our experience with these cases in Toronto has shown us how institutional negligence allows this abuse to happen. We will hold perpetrators and negligent institutions accountable. Institutional sexual abuse cases involve a deep understanding of both criminal and civil law. We investigate how institutions failed to protect the people in their care. This includes reviewing screening processes, supervision protocols and reporting mechanisms for inappropriate behavior.
Medical Negligence Lawyers expertise is key when dealing with the complexity of institutional abuse cases.
The effects of sexual abuse in institutions last much longer than the initial trauma. People who have been through this often have ongoing mental health problems, problems with their relationships, and problems at work. Longo Lawyers will help you get money for both the short-term and long-term effects of the abuse. When an organization is negligent, it usually means that there are problems at more than one level. We look into how bad policies, not enough background checks, or careless supervision made it possible for abuse to happen. We will show how these problems happen and make sure they don’t happen again.
When you work with survivors, you need to find the right balance between being professional and giving emotional support. We know that each survivor’s path to healing is unique, so we change how we help them. We do more than just represent our clients in court; we also help them find support services when they need them.
Sexual abuse in institutions can have mental effects that last for the rest of a survivor’s life. So we look at all the ways that harm can happen when we make claims. This includes the cost of treatment, missed chances, and the emotional cost of broken trust. There is a time limit for making claims of institutional abuse. But we know that survivors need time to think about what happened before they go to court. The way power works in institutions that often stop people from reporting will not stop us from fighting for justice.
You can feel safe telling your story because we will keep your information private and handle it professionally. While we work on your justice and compensation claims, we have strict rules in place to keep your privacy safe. Sexual abuse in institutions affects families and communities all over Toronto. We will help survivors heal and get justice, and we will hold institutions responsible for their role in allowing or hiding abuse. Through our legal work, we will make long-lasting changes to how institutions work and stop abuse from happening again.
