As sexual abuse in a medical context continues to be a national problem, the recently expanded legal services from appointed Abuse Guardian Michael Haggard offer survivors and their loved ones way to seek justice and move on with their lives.
A recent report published in the Journal of Law and Bioscience shows that physician sexual misconduct is underreported throughout the United States and includes any type of behavior in which the physician-patient relationship is exploited for sexual purposes. With a recognition of how emotionally and physically devastating such a breach of trust can be, the legal advice from Michael Haggard and his team at the Haggard Law Firm helps survivors move through their options to get restitution.
“Michael Haggard is well-versed in the intricacies that surround these sensitive cases,” says the Abuse Guardian. “Our primary goals are to advocate for justice on behalf of our clients and to offer compassionate legal assistance.”
Michael helps survivors and families pursue compensation through the civil court system for emotional pain and suffering, physical injuries, psychological trauma, lost income, and other damages.
He and his team investigate each case of medical sexual abuse, indecent exposure, or rape by gathering various forms of supporting evidence - like eyewitness accounts, medical records, photographs, and expert viewpoints regarding medical malpractice.
With many years of experience and an in-depth understanding of the laws and regulations in Florida, Michael guides victims through the state’s statute of limitations, helping to ensure that survivors understand their rights and the courses of legal action that are open to them.
Michael’s office also works to put survivors and their loved ones in contact with a range of community support options, including therapy providers, social service resources, and advocacy organizations. He offers no-obligation consultations for potential clients to discuss legal options further.
