Thank You For Your Courage in Reaching Out
Based on your response, it appears the situation you described involves a private individual, not acting on behalf of an organization. Our law firm's practice is uniquely focused on holding institutions—such as schools, hospitals, and corporations—legally accountable when their negligence leads to abuse. Suing individuals directly often does not lead to satisfactory civil outcomes for survivors, as individuals may lack the assets or insurance to provide meaningful compensation.
Because your case falls outside our specific focus, we would not be the right legal team to help you achieve justice. However, it is vital you get the support and guidance you deserve. We strongly encourage you to connect with the following resources:
National Sexual Assault Hotline: For immediate, confidential support, please call (800) 656-4673. This service is available 24/7.
American Bar Association - Find Legal Help: To find a lawyer who specializes in cases against individuals, please visit FindLegalHelp.org.
We wish you the very best in your pursuit of justice and healing.
Thank You For Your Information
Thank you for clarifying. It is important to understand the legal distinctions between workplace sexual harassment and sexual assault, as they are governed by different laws. Our firm's practice is concentrated on civil cases of physical sexual assault and abuse.
For matters concerning workplace harassment, hostile work environments, or discrimination, we suggest consulting with a dedicated employment law attorney or contacting the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for guidance. They are best equipped to handle these specific claims.

Summer Camp & Youth Programming
Child Sexual Abuse Attorneys
Discovering that your child was sexually abused while attending a summer camp or youth program is a traumatic betrayal. When camp organizers, staff, or volunteers fail to implement basic safety policies—such as proper supervision, background checks, and mandatory reporting—they can be held legally responsible for the harm done.
our attorneys advocates for parents seeking justice and compensation, holding negligent camps and youth organizations accountable. By pursuing civil claims, we aim not only to secure financial relief for your child’s medical and emotional care, but also to promote safer environments for all children going forward.
Staff Sexual Misconduct
Abuse by counselors, instructors, or volunteers is a severe breach of trust. If the camp failed to conduct thorough background checks, ignored warning signs, or staffed programs inadequately, they may share liability for the abuse.
Peer-on-Peer Abuse
Youth-on-youth assaults can also lead to claims against camp organizers if they lacked proper supervision, failed to enforce safety rules, or did not respond promptly to known incidents.
Inadequate Supervision
Insufficient counselor-to-child ratios, unsupervised activities, or lack of surveillance can create opportunities for abuse.
Facility & Policy Deficiencies
- Poorly lit cabins, bunkhouses, or activity areas
- Lack of secure entry points or monitoring
- Failure to enforce codes of conduct or respond to complaints
- Absence of clear reporting protocols for suspected abuse
Camps and youth programs owe a heightened duty of care to protect children from harm. Failure to meet state licensing requirements, negligence in staff training, or breaches of mandatory reporting laws can all form the basis of a civil lawsuit.
Civil Lawsuits vs. Criminal Prosecution
While criminal charges punish the offender, civil claims allow families to seek damages for:
- Therapy and medical expenses
- Psychological counseling and support services
- Future care costs and lost educational opportunities
- Punitive damages to deter future negligence
- Confidentiality: Cases can often proceed under pseudonyms to safeguard your child’s privacy.
- Statute Extensions: Many jurisdictions have extended or eliminated deadlines for child abuse claims.
- No Upfront Fees: We handle these matters on a contingency basis—if we don’t recover, you pay nothing.
Yes. You can pursue claims against the individual abuser and the organization if there’s evidence they were negligent in hiring, training, or supervision.
Organizers must supervise minors and enforce safety policies. If they failed to intervene or respond to warnings, you may have a claim for negligence.
Evidence such as staff logs, incident reports, policy manuals, witness statements, and background check records can demonstrate failures in care.
Deadlines vary by state, but many allow extended periods for child abuse cases. Consult an attorney to confirm your window.
Many cases settle without trial. When testimony is required, options like video depositions can minimize trauma.
We operate on a contingency fee basis—no fees unless we secure compensation on your behalf.
If your child was harmed at a summer camp or youth program, you deserve accountability and support. Our team provides compassionate guidance and fierce advocacy to hold negligent organizations responsible.
