The culture of silence in many boarding schools has allowed abuse to go unchecked for years. In Maryland, students who were sexually abused by faculty, staff, or fellow students now have legal options to seek justice. Civil lawsuits are an essential path forward for survivors looking to expose wrongdoing, hold institutions accountable, and recover compensation for the trauma they’ve endured.
Our firm represents survivors of sexual abuse at religious and secular boarding schools, private academies, therapeutic residential schools, and elite prep institutions. If you were victimized in any such setting, we are ready to fight for your rights.
Schools Can Be Held Liable For:
Enabling abusers to remain on staff despite complaints
Mishandling or ignoring student reports
Failing to monitor dormitories, staff, or after-hours activities
Inadequate vetting of employees or volunteers
Deliberate suppression of abuse investigations
We work to expose these patterns and bring survivors a sense of justice, closure, and compensation.
What Damages May Be Recovered:
Therapy and counseling costs
Pain and suffering
Educational and professional disruptions
Loss of trust and emotional harm
Punitive damages for egregious institutional misconduct
Every survivor deserves a voice. We provide legal support that is private, respectful, and empowering. To learn more, visit: https://abuseguardian.com/sexual-assault-lawyer/maryland/boarding-school-abuse-md
