Transgender Sexual Assault Attorneys in New Jersey – Helping LGBTQ+ Survivors File Civil Lawsuits Against Predators and Complicit Institutions

Transgender individuals continue to face high rates of sexual violence, often compounded by discrimination, marginalization, and institutional negligence. Whether the abuse occurred in a medical setting, public facility, school, or workplace, many trans survivors struggle to find supportive legal resources to pursue justice.

At Survivors of Abuse NJ, our attorneys are committed to representing transgender survivors of sexual abuse across New Jersey. We understand the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ survivors, and we are here to advocate for your rights, your safety, and your future.

Where Sexual Abuse Can Occur

  • Healthcare settings during exams or inpatient stays

  • Public shelters or housing facilities

  • Correctional facilities that fail to provide safe placement

  • Schools, universities, and athletic programs

  • Workplaces where employers tolerate harassment or abuse

Many survivors report being ignored or blamed, making it even more difficult to come forward. We offer confidential, affirming legal support that puts your experience at the center of your case.

Compensation You May Be Eligible For

Through a civil lawsuit, transgender survivors in NJ may recover compensation for:

  • Therapy and trauma-related mental health care

  • Pain and suffering, including emotional distress

  • Lost income or job-related hardship

  • Medical expenses related to the abuse

  • Punitive damages for extreme negligence or cover-ups

Even if no criminal charges were filed, you may still have a valid civil case. New Jersey’s laws are among the most survivor-friendly in the country.

Who Can Be Held Accountable?

  • Individuals who committed the assault

  • Hospitals, schools, or prisons that failed to protect you

When institutions fail in their duty of care, we work to hold them accountable under the law.
