White Law PLLC Advocates for Victims of Evangelical Church Sexual Abuse
Victims of sexual abuse and sexual violence have the right to compassion and respect after enduring such a traumatic event. When you are taken advantage of by those you trusted most, as is often the case with sexual abuse in Evangelical churches, it can be difficult to move forward with your life. The post-traumatic distress and physical injuries you sustained may make it difficult or impossible for you to get back to your life.
It is our goal at White Law PLLC to demand justice. The Evangelical church and church members who failed to protect you from abuse should be held accountable to the fullest extent the law allows. In some cases, they may face criminal charges. However, you may have little control over how the criminal cases unfold.
When you want to take back control of your life, pursuing legal action through a civil lawsuit may be your best interest. In civil court, you may be able to demand full compensation for your trauma and suffering. But more than that, you may be able to help prevent future churchgoers from enduring the same sexual abuse you experienced in the Evangelical church.

Evangelical Church Sexual Abuse Is a Serious Cause for Concern
According to data obtained from the Insurance Journal, there are more than 260 sexual abuse allegations made to insurance companies that insure Protestant churches against church volunteers, clergy members, Evangelical congregation members, church staff, and other parties related to Evangelical churches. However, despite the alarming frequency of these reports, not enough has been done to reduce the instances of sexual abuse in many churches. When abuse victims are courageous enough to come forward and report their abusers and those who allow the abuse to continue, they have the greatest impact.
By being brave and telling their stories, sexual abuse survivors like you can empower themselves. This is your chance to demand justice and fight for real change in Evangelical churches across the nation. You never know who you might be saving from the same type of trauma you endured.

What to Expect from a Sexual Abuse Lawsuit Against an Evangelical Church
Pursuing a legal claim against an Evangelical church surrounding sexual abuse can be overwhelming. Expect strong pushback from the church, but your identity may be protected depending on the circumstances of your case. This may allow you to pursue action without having your personal information be made public.
You can rely on our personal injury team to handle every legal detail. We will interview witnesses, gather physical evidence, and hire experts to testify on your behalf. We must prove the elements of negligence have been met for your lawsuit against the Evangelical church to be successful.
The burden of proof in claims like these is based on a preponderance of the evidence, according to the U.S. Courts for The Ninth Circuit. This means we must introduce powerful evidence that establishes the abuse you suffered, how your abuser and other third parties are liable, and the various ways your life has been affected by your experience. While no amount of money will change what happened to you, it can help you avoid financial ruin and give you access to the support you need to pick up the pieces of your life.
Your Evangelical Church Sexual Abuse Lawsuit Has a Deadline
Although you may be struggling to cope, it is important to get started on your claim as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the statute of limitations for sexual abuse and personal injury lawsuits is limited depending on the state where the incident occurred. If your claim is not filed during this time period, you may miss out on an opportunity to have your case heard in a court of law.
You will always work directly with your attorney throughout your case.
