Doctors who abuse their patients sexually are taking advantage of an inherent power imbalance.

If you were the victim of doctor sexual abuse, it's important you retain the proper legal representation needed to bring that doctor, and the institutions putting them in a position of power, to account. The courts take this violation of professional responsibility very seriously and are committed to preventing predators in the medical profession from causing further harm by bringing them to justice.

Violations of the doctor-patient relationship through rape, assault, or battery will have an enduring and profoundly traumatic impact on the person who was exploited. This is why attorney Kat Thomas, Esq., has dedicated her career to litigating on behalf of survivors of sexual violence at the hands of a trusted physician.

Kat Thomas is known for bringing those who’ve violated their Hippocratic oath in this way to justice. And she can do the same for you.

In collaboration with Abuse Guardian, a national alliance of sexual abuse lawyers, Kat is here to help you pursue the justice and compensation you deserve.

In 1991, the American Medical Association (AMA) stated categorically that physician sexual relations are unethical, noting this prohibition is part of the Hippocratic oath; however, a 1998 study found that between 1981-1996, 567 US physicians were disciplined by state medical boards for sexual misconduct.

The Abuse Guardian alliance believes disciplinary action does not go far enough to help victims like you secure restitution. As a member of Abuse Guardian, Kat is putting her expertise to work for the benefit of survivors of doctor sexual misconduct who end up feeling powerless, voiceless, and traumatized. As a survivor of sexual abuse perpetrated by a doctor, you deserve compassionate legal support and aggressive representation.

An article at the National Library of Medicine says significant numbers of doctor sexual abuse events go unreported. The article cites gymnastics physician Lawrence Nassar as an example of a doctor who violated his patients with impunity for years. This is why it's imperative that victims of doctor sexual abuse come forward right away. Early retention of legal representation helps prevent sexual misconduct on the part of a doctor from escalating, and it helps you to secure the compensation you deserve.

In the state of New York, the statute of limitations for adult survivors filing civil lawsuits against perpetrators of sexual abuse is just three years. Some people wait too long to launch a civil lawsuit after being assaulted by their physician because they feel ashamed, or because they're worried about revisiting the trauma. With access to the resources the Abuse Guardian offers you, you're assured informed and compassionate legal support from an attorney who will be at your side every step of the way. Kat's top priority is to restore your voice on this matter. She is here to inform you of your rights, and empower you as you seek justice for the abuse you suffered before the timeframe for filing your case expires.

In collaboration with Abuse Guardian, Kat Thomas and her associates will help you bring both your perpetrator and the institutions associated with that perpetrator to account.
