No Georgia law firm can match our expertise in child molestation cases.
Our firm is currently lead trial counsel in all of the highly-publicized "WestCare cases," which involve the sexual abuse of several young girls at a residential treatment center that formerly operated in Stone Mountain, Georgia. Our unparalleled expertise, experience, working relationships with key national experts, and skill at presenting such cases to juries are all factors that ultimately provide our clients with the maximum financial recovery.
Civil lawsuits are different from criminal proceedings.
Georgia's criminal justice system punishes those who are found guilty of abusing or molesting a child, but victims and their families are often wrongfully led to believe that the criminal process will fully achieve justice in a child abuse case. Criminal proceedings target the perpetrator, not the school, doctors' office, police department, youth organization, or other entity that knew or should have known they had a dangerous employee working for them, but still took no action to prevent that employee from harming children. Unlike the criminal justice process, our state's civil justice system permits victims of child abuse or molestation to seek financial compensation. Even though no amount of money can fairly compensate an abuse victim or undo the psychological damage inflicted, we believe that the abuser and others at fault (including companies or organizations that employ child molesters and abusers) must be held responsible
The experienced Atlanta personal injury and wrongful death attorneys at Davis Adams can help determine the types of damages a child molestation victim may be entitled to receive, including compensation for:
- medical bills (including psychological or psychiatric treatment);
- medical monitoring;
- pain and suffering;
- lost wages;
- impairment of earning capacity;
- life care/lifestyle changes; and
- punitive damages.
Our team strategy maximizes client service and case results.
At Davis Adams, all cases are handled jointly by Jess Davis and Chad Adams. This collaborative, team approach distinguishes our firm from most others, where work is largely handled by a single, less experienced associate (or sometimes a non-attorney "case manager"), and where experienced trial lawyers only get involved in the later stages of the case, if at all. Our clients profit from our hands-on team approach because from the very start they get the collective time, attention, energy, and experience of the attorneys who will be handling their case at trial, which translates to better results.
