The relationship between a student and their teacher should be built on safety, professionalism, and trust. When an educator crosses that line through sexual abuse or exploitation, the impact can be deeply traumatic—and the school’s failure to prevent or respond to the abuse can make it even worse.
Our New Jersey sexual abuse law firm represent students and families who have suffered due to teacher misconduct. We file civil lawsuits against educators and institutions that failed in their duty to protect students. These claims not only seek compensation but also aim to expose systemic failures that allowed abuse to happen.
You May Have a Case If:
A teacher, aide, coach, or staff member sexually abused you
Abuse occurred during or after school-related activities
Your school ignored complaints, warnings, or red flags
Administrators failed to investigate or protect students
You were retaliated against or discouraged from reporting abuse
Survivors may pursue legal action even if the incident occurred years ago, thanks to expanded legal timelines in New Jersey.
Compensation May Include:
Mental health counseling and long-term therapy
Costs of medical care related to the abuse
Pain, suffering, and emotional distress damages
Lost educational opportunities or income
Punitive damages for gross negligence or cover-up
We work with medical experts, trauma specialists, and investigators to build strong cases that prioritize your healing.
Schools and Officials That May Be Liable:
Public and private schools
