Sexual Assault By A Doctor

Sexual assault can be a devastating and traumatic experience for victims. The offending doctor should be held accountable for their heinous actions and the harm they caused their patient. We understand how confusing and scary this can be for victims. Pursuing legal action can provide people with a sense of justice and healing.  We are aware of the impact sexual assault can have on the body and mind. We are committed to utilizing our legal knowledge to the fullest extent of the law to ensure that the offender is held strictly accountable. As our knowledgeable doctor sexual assault attorney explains, assault can happen in many ways, such as:

• Forcing a patient to expose or undress when not required for the examination, treatment, or procedure
• Inappropriate touching or contact during a medical examination
• Making sexual comments or advances that are unwelcome
• Taking pictures of the patient without consent or for personal viewing
• Inquiring about the patient’s sexual history when it is not relevant for medical purposes
• Failing to provide or witholding a medical gown
• Sedating or overmedicating a patient to commit sexual misconduct
• Requesting favors of a sexual nature in exchange for medication, treatment, or money
• Committing any form of rape
• Improper hygiene practices (ex: not wearing gloves during an exam)
