Experienced Philadelphia Child Abuse Attorneys
Foster children who have been abused not only have to deal with the trauma of being removed from one home and placed in another, but also have to deal with additional neglect and abuse from those who are supposed to provide a safe living environment. Foster parents who abuse their children deserve to be held accountable, both by the criminal justice system, and in civil lawsuits.
If you are a relative, or simply a concerned neighbor, teacher or other adult, who suspects or knows that a foster child is being abused, you have a responsibility to report the suspected abuse to the authorities.
At Hill & Associates, our attorneys provide experienced representation for children who have been victimized by foster care abuse. If you were victimized as a child in foster care or know a foster child who was abused or neglected, it is important to speak with a lawyer who can protect your rights. Our firm can help you pursue justice, accountability and compensation from those who are responsible.

Impact of Foster Child Abuse Can Last a Lifetime
Any instance of child abuse or child sexual assault can have tremendous physical, emotional and psychological damage. In addition to the broken bones, bruises and other physical impact, abuse may result in depression, drug and alcohol abuse and an inability to form healthy adult relationships. Children who have been abused may even become abusers themselves, continuing the cycle to another generation.
By pursuing a civil lawsuit against the person who abused you, or who harmed someone you love, it is possible to get the compensation that is necessary for the recovery process. It is also possible that other foster children will not be subjected to the same kind of abuse from the same offender.
