The University of Southern California has recently found itself in the center of a sexual misconduct scandal surrounding a gynecologist—Dr. Tyndall. There have been more than two-hundred claims against the OB/GYN. As more and more victims come forward, it is likely that the doctor, as well as the school, face many lawsuits for the sexual assault incidents.
If you are one of the many victims of Dr. Tyndall, you might be considering filing a lawsuit. If so, you might have thought about the possibility of receiving a payout. For many people, the amount of money that they could recover is essential to deciding to file a lawsuit. Because of that, our law firm is often approached with many of the following questions:
- How much can you get if you were sexually assaulted by Dr. Tyndall at USC hospital?
- How much can you get if you were sexually molested by a gynecologist?
- How much is a Dr. Tyndall sexual harassment case against USC worth?
- How much money can you receive if the USC gynecologist touched you inappropriately?
- What is the value of USC gynecology injury cases?
As you can see, many of the questions listed above are in regards to the average value of a sexual assault claim against a gynecologist. For many victims of sexual assault, it is difficult to come forward and make claims against their attackers. Many victims suffer mental and emotional distress for many months or years after their assault; therefore, they might avoid reliving the traumatic experience and, in turn, might avoid filing a claim. Although no amount of money can reverse time or make victims overcome their traumas, monetary compensation can alleviate some of the financial distress caused by the assault.
The Compensation Available for Recovery
If you are interested in filing a lawsuit after experiencing inappropriate touching by an OB/GYN, a Los Angeles law firm with experience in sexual assault cases could help you recover the compensation that you deserve. You could be eligible to recover compensation. You can receive some of the following types of compensation:
- Medical costs: this category should compensate you for any medical expenses that arose from the assault. If you seek professional treatment from a therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist, for example, you could be compensated for those expenses.
- Lost income: if you lost any income during the time after your assault, you could also be compensated for the wages you lost. In most cases, the amount of compensation for lost income is based on the victim’s wage history and the total time she was unable to work.
- Pain and suffering: without a doubt, sexual assault of any kind including groping and forcible touching can leave victims mentally and emotionally scarred. Victims of sexual mistreatment are often left struggling with depression, anxiety, fear, panic, and post-traumatic stress disorder, for example. If victims are suffering mentally and emotionally after the assault, they could be compensated.
- Loss of consortium: compensation could also be granted to the victim’s family members if the assault negatively affected the normal, family relationships that they previously shared.
If you file a claim against Dr. Tyndall or USC after being the victim of a sex crime, you could receive some of the categories of compensation listed above. However, the type and amount of compensation that you could receive depends on the specific details of your claim. To establish the USC sexual molestation lawsuit case value that applies to your claim, you must contact a sexual battery lawyer in Los Angeles as soon as possible.
