Frequently Asked Questions

The school said they followed all protocols. Is that a defense?

Almost never. Title IX and negligence law require more than formal protocols — institutions must respond reasonably to warning signs and known risks.

The coach was charged criminally but acquitted. Can I still sue?

Yes. Civil cases can proceed against the institution and the individual regardless of criminal acquittal.

My child is now a teenager and ready to come forward. What do we do?

Call. We’ll explain options with complete confidentiality and will not act without your consent.
