Experienced Representation for Child Abuse Victims
Child abuse can be physical or psychological in nature and can involve the neglect of a child's basic needs. Any form of child abuse, however, can have a lasting impact on the victim and those who inflict this abuse should be held accountable. While the criminal justice system can punish abusers, a civil lawsuit can also help to obtain justice, accountability and compensation from an offender.
If your child has been abused by a day care provider, teacher or other adult figure, we can help you get the justice you deserve.
At Hill & Associates, P.C., in Philadelphia, our attorneys have extensive experience representing the victims of child abuse and child sexual abuse. Children who have been the victims of abuse often need medical treatment and psychological therapy well into adulthood and many never fully overcome the traumatic effects of abuse. A lawyer can help you understand your options for financial recovery.

Physical Abuse, Psychological Abuse and Neglect
An instance of child abuse has taken place when a child is harmed by an act of physical violence (or the threat of violence), by psychological abuse or by neglect for the child's physical, mental and emotional needs. Indicators of this abuse can include:
- Bruises, broken bones and welts
- Lack of self-esteem and self-confidence
- Dramatic behavioral changes
- Inappropriate or infantile behavior
- Poor hygiene
- Low academic achievement
- Underweight and poor growth patterns
These problems can last many years beyond the abuse itself. Victims of child abuse deserve to know their options and to have their rights protected. At our firm, we can help you or someone you love pursue the results you deserve.
