Schools are meant to be places of learning, growth, and safety. However, when a teacher or school employee abuses their position of authority to commit acts of sexual abuse against a student, the impact can be devastating and life-changing. Survivors deserve the opportunity to seek justice—not just against the individual teacher, but also against the school systems that failed to protect them.
Our Pennsylvania teacher-student sexual abuse lawyers represent survivors in civil lawsuits against abusive educators, administrators, private institutions, and public school districts. Civil claims empower survivors to seek financial compensation and hold negligent organizations accountable for their role in enabling or ignoring misconduct.
When You May Have a Civil Claim for Teacher Sexual Abuse:
You may be eligible to file a lawsuit if:
A teacher, coach, principal, or school employee sexually abused you
The school failed to act on warnings, complaints, or red flags
Staff covered up allegations to protect the institution’s reputation
The abuser was permitted continued access to students despite concerns
Safety policies and reporting procedures were inadequate or ignored
Even if no criminal case was pursued, Pennsylvania civil law offers survivors a way to pursue justice and expose wrongdoing.
Compensation May Cover:
Therapy and psychological counseling costs
Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma damages
Medical expenses related to the abuse
Loss of future educational or career opportunities
Punitive damages against negligent institutions
