Experienced Sexual Abuse Legal Help in Denver
If you or someone you know has been the victim of sexual abuse or assault, call Burg Simpson at 303-792-5595 for a FREE and confidential case evaluation. Our empathetic health club sexual assault lawyers are here to listen, help you understand your rights and options, and assist you in receiving the justice you deserve.
Athletic Club Liability Waivers and Sexual Assault
In a landmark decision, Colorado’s appellate court has clarified that liability waivers at athletic clubs do not exempt coaches, therapists, or other employees from being accountable for sexual abuse or assault.
By contesting the adequacy of these waivers in shielding organizations from claims of sexual abuse, our victims’ rights attorneys are at the forefront of advocating for the protection and rights of individuals who have suffered abuse at the hands of trusted sport and exercise industry professionals. We are here to challenge the legal standing of waivers in protecting against issues including negligent supervision lawsuits and to fight for organizational accountability in preventing employee misconduct.
Colorado Athletic Club Sexual Abuse: Report Your Experience
If you are a member or employee who has suffered assault or abuse at a facility operated by Wellbridge Club Management, your experience is important. Your voice can help bring about necessary changes. By sharing your story, you can assist us in building a stronger case against negligence and misconduct. Report your story confidentially to our Wellbridge sexual abuse lawyers to learn how your voice, amplified with others, can help us achieve justice for all survivors.
If you are a witness to abuse or have knowledge of health club employee sexual assault, your information could also be important to our efforts to seek justice in this health club assault case. If you have witnessed any form of misconduct or have insights into systemic issues—including sports coach sexual assault—we can provide a secure and anonymous way to share information. We guarantee protection and confidentiality, so you can let your knowledge serve the greater good and help protect others from future harm.
How to Recognize Signs of Child Sexual Abuse
Children may have a hard time reporting sexual abuse. This can be due to fear, shame, or a combination of emotions, but the results are often catastrophic. Children who have suffered sexual abuse are more likely to suffer from PTSD, depression, and anxiety. They are also more likely to engage in risky behaviors, abuse drugs and alcohol, and have a difficult time maintaining healthy relationships.
Knowing how to identify potential signs of sexual abuse is essential for people who work with children. Identifying the signs can be the first step in seeking the help your child will need to heal from this tragic mistreatment.
If your child has had unsupervised interactions with a coach or one-on-one time with a health club employee, signs of sexual abuse to be aware of include:
- Behavioral Changes. Unexpected changes in eating or sleeping habits or regressive behaviors may indicate abuse. So too might a new desire to avoid certain places or people.
- Physical Signs. A medical professional should immediately evaluate unexplained bruises or injuries—especially around private areas. Complaints of pain or noticeable discomfort while walking or sitting should also be investigated.
- Emotional and Psychological Signs. Sudden angry outbursts, depression, or anxiety can be significant indicators of abuse. Withdrawal from friends or activities, as well as a noticeable drop in academic performance, are also signals of distress.
- Communication Cues. Children using sexually explicit language or discussing secrets that make them visibly uncomfortable could be victims of sexual abuse. Pay close attention to how your child talks about their day or specific people they have interacted with.
There are many resources for children who have suffered sexual abuse to help them recover. An experienced child sexual abuse attorney from Burg Simpson can help you seek justice as well. By holding all of those responsible—from the perpetrator to the institutions that allowed the abuse to happen—we can assist in the healing process and restore the dignity and self-assurance your child deserves.
