$200,000 Injury Settlement - Sexual Abuse by High School Teacher

Raleigh School Abuse Settlement Result

In 2021, we represented a client (and student) who was sexually assaulted by a teacher in high school. Our team of Raleigh sexual assault lawyers settled the case against the school district for $200,000.00.

Our investigation revealed that our client was likely one of many victims of a teacher’s inappropriate and predatory conduct with students at a North Carolina high school. Though the teacher’s inappropriate conduct and relationships with students were well known to students and other faculty, the high school’s principal and school administration did nothing to prevent incidents like this or even investigate the extent of the teacher’s unusual conduct. Tragically, this is too often true in cases involving sexual assault and grooming by teachers: the administrators and faculty who have power to protect the victims often turn a blind eye to clear warning signs of predatory behavior.

Despite no evidence of physical harm, the incident caused our client extreme anxiety, mental distress, and anguish. But as a testament to our client’s strength and with the help of mental health professionals, our client’s future is as bright as ever.

This is just an example of one of the recent results by our team of sexual assault lawyers in Raleigh, NC. With decades of collective experience, our injury attorneys have helped clients across North Carolina and South Carolina recover millions in damages against insurance companies, large corporations, employers, and the powerful.
