Criminal charges for sexual abuse benefit society as a whole. They take dangerous people off the streets and protect us from predators. However, when sexual abuse or molestation occurs in a school, it can be equally as important to hold the administration and institution accountable for letting the abuse occur.
At Andreozzi & Associates, we help victims of sexual abuse and molestation bring claims against public and private schools, colleges and universities. Attorney Benjamin D. Andreozzi is dedicated to providing clients with the compassionate support and experienced advocacy they need. He has handled a significant number of abuse cases, helping clients who have been harmed by teachers and others in positions of authority at school.

Bringing a Sexual Abuse Claim Against a School in Pennsylvania
It can be difficult to bring a claim against an educational institution. Schools have certain immunities to protect schools from lawsuits. However, there are exceptions.
You may have a claim against a school or university if you can show that there was a policy or custom that allowed the abuse to take place. An example of this is if the school knew of the abuse and allowed it to continue. However, a school policy forcing young girls to shower with teenage boys, for example, may also constitute a policy that makes children or adults more susceptible to sexual abuse or molestation.
Whether the abuse took place at the hands of a teacher, professor, a maintenance person or another student, we can help you bring a civil claim against the school that allowed it to happen.
Statute of Limitations on Sexual Abuse and Child Molestation Claims
There is a statute of limitations on claims for sexual abuse in court. However, attorney Andreozzi has had past success overcoming the statute of limitations for clients. Whether you were abused years ago or if your child has recently been abused, we will work to ensure they receive the counseling needed to move forward and hold the responsible parties accountable for their actions or inaction.
