New Jersey Transgender Sexual Abuse Lawyers – Legal Representation for Trans Survivors Facing Abuse, Harassment, or Assault in Medical, Institutional, and Public Settings

Sexual abuse affects individuals from all walks of life—but transgender individuals face an especially high risk of victimization. In New Jersey and across the country, transgender survivors are often targeted because of their gender identity, and they frequently face unique barriers when seeking help, support, and justice.

At Survivors of Abuse NJ, we provide compassionate, trauma-informed legal representation for transgender people who have experienced sexual abuse or assault. Whether the abuse occurred in a healthcare setting, workplace, public facility, correctional institution, or school, you deserve to be heard—and to hold those responsible accountable.

Understanding Sexual Abuse in Transgender Communities

Transgender individuals are more likely to experience:

  • Sexual violence from intimate partners or strangers

  • Abuse in hospitals, clinics, shelters, or correctional facilities

  • Harassment or assault while seeking gender-affirming care

  • Exploitation by authority figures, including medical professionals, educators, or law enforcement

  • Systemic indifference or refusal to investigate claims

Too often, institutions ignore, minimize, or mishandle reports from trans survivors. At Survivors of Abuse NJ, we believe all survivors deserve equal access to justice—regardless of gender identity or expression.

Can I File a Civil Lawsuit as a Transgender Survivor in New Jersey?

Yes. New Jersey law allows survivors of sexual abuse to file civil lawsuits seeking compensation for the physical, emotional, and psychological harm they've endured. You can pursue a civil case even if no criminal charges were filed—or if the incident happened years ago.

You may be eligible for compensation covering:

  • Mental health therapy and trauma care

  • Medical treatment and recovery support

  • Pain, suffering, and emotional distress

  • Loss of income or employment due to the abuse

  • Punitive damages for gross negligence or institutional failure

Our team will handle your case with the highest level of confidentiality and respect.

Who May Be Liable for Sexual Abuse Against Trans People?

  • Individuals who committed the abuse

  • Hospitals, shelters, or clinics that failed to protect you

  • Employers who ignored harassment or misconduct

  • Correctional or juvenile facilities

  • Religious institutions or schools

We will investigate whether your abuse was enabled by negligence, lack of training, or discriminatory practices.
