Sexual abuse lawsuits in Georgia are becoming more common as survivors come forward to hold schools, churches, residential treatment centers, and other institutions accountable. Georgia sex abuse attorneys are now filing lawsuits against third-party organizations that enabled or ignored abuse, even when the abuse happened years ago. While Georgia’s statute of limitations laws are still more restrictive than in other states, recent court decisions and public pressure have created more legal opportunities for victims of sexual abuse to seek justice and compensation through civil litigation.

This page explains how Georgia sex abuse lawsuits work and what survivors need to know about the legal process. We cover who can be sued in civil sex abuse cases, the statute of limitations for both adult and child victims, and the average settlement payouts and jury verdicts in Georgia sex abuse cases. Whether the abuse occurred in a public school, juvenile detention center, private therapy program, religious institution, or through rideshare services like Uber or Lyft, our lawyers can help determine whether you have a case and who may be financially liable.

Georgia sexual abuse lawsuits are being filed in both state and federal court, including claims against school districts under Title IX, civil rights lawsuits under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and claims against private organizations for negligent hiring, supervision, and failure to protect. Plaintiffs are also pursuing lawsuits related to institutional abuse at residential treatment centers and youth programs, particularly those with a history of staff misconduct or regulatory violations. If you or a loved one suffered abuse, a civil lawsuit can provide both financial compensation and public accountability for those who failed to protect you.
