Patients trust doctors with their health, safety, and personal well-being. Unfortunately, that trust is sometimes exploited in horrifying ways. Sexual abuse by medical professionals in Missouri is a grave violation of both ethics and the law—and survivors deserve justice.
If you or a loved one has been sexually abused by a doctor, nurse, therapist, or other healthcare provider in Missouri, our legal team is here to help. We provide confidential, trauma-informed legal advocacy and support to survivors seeking to hold abusers and negligent institutions accountable.
What Constitutes Doctor-Patient Sexual Abuse?
Doctor-patient sexual abuse can take many forms, including inappropriate touching, coerced examinations, invasive procedures without consent, sexual comments, or outright assault. These actions are not only unethical—they are criminal. Because of the power imbalance in healthcare settings, survivors often feel powerless, ashamed, or afraid to speak up. Many worry they won’t be believed.
At our firm, we believe you. We listen. We fight for you.
Who Can Be Held Accountable?
Survivors may be eligible to file civil lawsuits against:
The individual medical professional
Clinics, hospitals, or practices that ignored prior complaints
Employers who failed to run proper background checks
Institutions that covered up known misconduct
Through a civil claim, you may seek compensation for:
Therapy and mental health treatment
Medical expenses related to the abuse
Pain and suffering
Loss of income
Punitive damages in cases of gross negligence
Missouri’s Legal Protections for Survivors
Missouri has specific time limits for filing medical sexual abuse claims, but those deadlines vary based on when the abuse was discovered, the age of the victim, and other case factors. Our attorneys will evaluate your case and help determine whether you're still eligible to file a claim under current Missouri law.
