Doctor Sexual Abuse Lawyer in Mason, OH

Doctor sexual abuse is a profound betrayal of trust. Medical professionals are supposed to heal and protect their patients—not take advantage of them. When a doctor uses their position to harm a patient, they must be held accountable.

Our Mason doctor sexual abuse lawyers stand with survivors to demand accountability from abusers and the institutions that allowed the harm to happen. Abuse by a doctor or another medical professional can cause long-term harm, regardless of whether the survivor is a child or an adult.

At Cooper Elliott, we have spent 30 years fighting for survivors, helping them take legal action against those who have harmed them. If you or a loved one has experienced doctor sexual abuse, you deserve answers. Our Mason sexual abuse lawyer can help. Call us today for a free, confidential consultation.

Understanding How Doctor Sexual Abuse Happens

Doctor sexual abuse happens when a healthcare provider takes advantage of a patient in a medical setting. This can happen during exams, treatments, or therapy sessions. Abusers often manipulate patients into believing their actions are normal or necessary for care.

Common examples of doctor sexual abuse include:

Inappropriate or unnecessary physical contact
Sexual comments or questions unrelated to medical care
Performing exams without consent or a valid medical reason
Coercing or pressuring patients into sexual acts
Taking advantage of vulnerable patients, including children and those with disabilities

This kind of abuse can leave lasting emotional, physical, and psychological scars. Survivors may feel fear, shame, or confusion, but the abuse was not your fault, and you deserve justice.

Who Can Be Liable for Sexual Abuse by a Medical Provider?

While the doctor who committed the abuse is responsible, others may also be legally accountable. Many cases involve institutions that ignored red flags or failed to protect patients. Possible liable parties include:

The doctor or medical professional who committed the abuse
The hospital, clinic, or medical practice that employed the doctor
Licensing boards that failed to act on prior complaints
Any person or entity that enabled the abuse to continue

Holding these parties accountable is not just about financial recovery—it’s about preventing future harm and ensuring they acknowledge the damage they have done.

What to Expect When Working with Our Mason Doctor Sexual Abuse Attorneys

At Cooper Elliott, we approach every case with compassion and determination. When you work with us, we will:

Listen to your story with care and respect during a confidential consultation.
Investigate the doctor’s background and any prior complaints.
Hold medical institutions accountable for their role in enabling abuse.
Fight for the financial recovery you deserve, including medical costs, therapy, lost income, pain and suffering, and other losses.
Stand by your side throughout the legal process.

Our medical sexual abuse lawyers in Mason are not just here to win a case—we are here to help you take back your power and move forward.

When we handle your case, we will take care of everything, including:

Gathering Evidence

Evidence is important in building a strong case. Proof may include:

Medical records or appointment logs
Witness statements from other patients, staff, or loved ones
Complaints or disciplinary actions against the doctor
Personal journals or notes documenting what happened
Expert testimony from medical professionals

Even if you don’t have physical evidence, your testimony is powerful. We will gather supporting documents to strengthen your claim.

Filing a Lawsuit

Once we gather enough evidence, we will file a civil lawsuit against the doctor, the medical institution, or other responsible parties. Filing a legal action seeks to hold them accountable and may provide financial recovery for medical care, therapy, and emotional distress.

Handling Settlement Negotiations

Lawsuits often resolve through a settlement, where the responsible parties agree to provide financial recovery without going to trial. We will advocate on your behalf during settlement talks to ensure any settlement supports you and reflects the harm caused.

Going to Court (if Necessary)

If we cannot reach a fair settlement, the case may go to court. This means presenting evidence, calling witnesses, and making a case before a judge or jury. While trials can be lengthy, they can also lead to a stronger sense of justice.

Holding Responsible Parties Accountable

Beyond financial recovery, taking legal action can expose abuse and push for change. Many survivors find that holding the abuser and enabling institutions accountable is a step toward healing—not just for themselves but for others who could be at risk.

Legal action is never easy, but you do not have to face it alone. With the right legal support, you can take back control and demand accountability. You can review your legal options with our team during a free consultation. Call us today.

Can You File a Lawsuit if the Abuse Happened Years Ago?

Yes, Ohio law allows survivors of doctor sexual abuse to file claims even years after the abuse occurred. The time limits depend on the survivor’s age and when they discovered the harm.

For child survivors, state law (Ohio Revised Code § 2305.111(C)) extends the time they have to file a lawsuit. Even if the abuse happened years ago, you may still have options. For adult survivors, you may have additional time if you only recently connected your emotional or psychological harm to the abuse.

If you’re unsure about your legal options, we encourage you to contact us. We can help determine whether you still have time to file a case.

Rex Elliott at Cooper Elliott is truly exceptional. He was the perfect balance of empathy and toughness—understanding my issue deeply while giving me unwavering confidence throughout the entire process. One of the things I appreciated most was how easy he was to reach and communicate with, always making me feel heard and supported. Thanks to his expertise, we had a resolution within just three days and received everything we asked for. I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate. Rex is simply the best! Highly recommend!

I spoke on the phone with a young lady name Tammy, an absolute angel. She was there for me emotionally through the phone after my financial crisis and she allowed me to vent and she was very supportive and understanding to me. She led me in the direction on the right ladies for my current situation and I am very thankful to have crossed paths with her. She had a sense of humor that brought my mood from down to back up and trusting faith we will get thru this. Thank you again for the motivation Tammy.

I was t-boned in an intersection on my way to work. It was terrifying. Officers on scene indicated the man who hit me was being cited. Then they learned he is a local celebrity and decided against it. My car was totaled and I was in pain. And now this guy gets to walk away. Until Sean Alto and his paralegal Kim got hold of my file and said - hold up - not on my watch. They dug in, found the evidence and made it right. Thank you all so much!! Highly recommend.

For the most part when you need legal representation something has not gone well. You are concerned, anxiety is up, you feel low, even frightened, and there does not seem to be a light anywhere around. Thus, I am very happy that I called CooperElliott. Much of that despair began to lift, I knew I had someone behind me, in front of me, beside me, and that I was not alone. I was treated like I had been a client for forever by everyone I was in contact with and met with. A great firm that will fight for you, and that means a great deal when you need someone who will do that with you. Thank you CooperElliott.

Bart took the time needed to help educate me on this process for a very positive outcome.I can’t thank Bart and the staff at Cooper Elliott enough for all they have done for me.

I worked with Adam Richards and his team. They were empathetic to my situation and extremely professional. I don't know what I would have done without their expert guidance and counsel. Adam really knows his stuff, and it was clear he had an excellent rapport with all who assisted in the case. Adam's communication abilities were next level. I never had to worry about getting ahold of him when needed. I know he and his team will continue to knock it out of the park for all future clients like they did for me.

My husband, Bob and I were injured in an automobile accident in December, 2022 when someone came through a Stop sign. We contacted Cooper Elliott, and were fortunate to work with Sean Alto and Kaela King. They came to our home several times to meet us and discuss the case, and got to know us personally as well as professionally. They really care about their clients! In addition, Michael Tonovitz stayed in contact with us to keep us informed on the progress of the case, which was resolved to our satisfaction.We highly recommend this law firm for personal injury!

I am so glad I found cooper Elliot. My attorneys Jon and Adam helped me through the entire process. After a traumatic experience in my life I was confused and in pain. They worked tirelessly to become familiar with all the details of my story and represented me in a way that made me more able to process and understand the trauma myself. This was huge for me, while there’s still healing to do, I can do that work now instead of staying in a purgatory of cognitive dissonance. They didn’t just win justice for me, they are a significant part of my healing journey. They were validating, non judgmental, honest, and knowledgeable.

Jonathan Bond handled a personal injury claim for me quickly with maximum results. He’s pleasant and enjoyable to work with, as well as compassionate. The firm handled all the legwork of getting medical records and copies of paperwork, which not all firms do. I would recommend Jonathan to anyone and would definitely go back to him if the need were to arise again.

Very satisfied! We dealt with Bart Keyes who showed genuine interest in our situation. Bart was always very quick to respond when we had questions and kept us informed throughout the case. If you need legal representation for a commercial real estate dispute we highly recommend Bart and the Cooper Elliot firm!

I honestly struggle to find the words to describe how incredible this firm is, especially Jeffrey Kenny and Sean Alto. 7 years ago, my family started a journey through a nightmare. When the criminal justice system fell woefully short, Jeff agreed to take on our incredibly challenging and lengthy case, with no other reason than that it was the right thing to do, and he believed we deserved justice. There were so many times when I would have understood if they walked away, but they refused and vowed to get us the justice we deserved, and almost 7 years later, they have given my family just that. I will never, ever, forget what they have done for us. We were never just another case. They made us feel like we were their ONLY case! Thank you will never come close to the gratitude and respect I have for Jeff and Sean, as well as for Cooper Elliott. They will be superheroes in our home, forever!

I would highly recommend Cooper Elliott to any of my friends and family! Chip Cooper was extremely helpful guiding me through a difficult process. Chip was patient with me and provided feedback during the process that kept me informed until the desired outcome was achieved. There were interactions with other staff of the firm (whose names I do not know) that were helpful as well, I was impressed with the entire team!

Adam Richards is the best attorney I have ever met. He is responsive and very patient (I had a lot of questions) and he truly cares. He fought hard for me and he stands up to the bully. he is not afraid to take on anyone. Anytime I hear someone who has a legal issue I go out of my way to recommend Adam. He is unlike any attorney I have ever met. He is compassionate and he always answers his phone. There is no way I would have got the results I received with any other attorney. He was a bulldog in my case and really went to bat for me. Words cant express how grateful I am to him. His actions personally affected my life in a very positive way. He protected me in so many ways I couldn't begin to name them. It is a great feeling when you know your attorney outmatches the other party's attorney and it is obvious.
