Western Maryland Children’s Center Sex Abuse Lawsuits

Sexual abuse is a profound betrayal, especially when it happens to vulnerable children in places meant to protect them. If you or a loved one suffered abuse at Western Maryland Children’s Center (WMCC), you deserve justice, accountability, and compassionate legal support. Our firm is committed to fighting for our clients – including sexual abuse survivors – and holding perpetrators and institutions accountable to help victims reclaim their power.

Pursuing a Western Maryland Children’s Center Abuse Claim

Recent investigations and lawsuits have exposed widespread sexual abuse in Maryland juvenile detention centers, including WMCC. Survivors report horrific assaults by staff members, guards, and other authority figures. These were individuals who were supposed to ensure the safety of the minors entrusted to their care, but instead, these predators exploited their power, leaving lasting trauma for survivors.

Many survivors have spent years silenced by fear, shame, or institutional cover-ups. But now, courageous victims are stepping forward to demand justice through civil lawsuits. Maryland’s Child Victims Act of 2023 allows survivors of child sexual abuse to file civil lawsuits in an attempt to seek institutional accountability and justice, meaning we may be able to assist you in pursuing a Western Maryland Children’s Center sex abuse claim.

Filing a lawsuit in these cases is about more than financial compensation. It’s about exposing the truth and forcing accountability, as well as preventing future abuse of others by holding institutions responsible.

Our team may be able to help you secure resources for therapy, medical care, and more. If our team of personal injury attorneys can’t help, we can refer you to a trusted partner who can.

I felt they were more my friends than my personal injury lawyer and that isn't something you're taught it's something you have inside. If I ever needed a lawyer again Phillips Law Group Injury Lawyers would be my only choice. I can't recommend them enough. They are professional on every level and compassionate throughout. Thank you for everything.

When in pain because of an accident all you want to do is focus on getting better and that is what did thanks to this firm. My family and I were set up with a Dr and Chiro right away. The treatment we received was great. I am extremely thankful for all the help we received and the outcome on the cases. Thanks to everyone involved on my case. A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.

I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group. I decided to give them a call about my accident, and they were very respectful and took in my case immediately. They assigned me Tim LeDuc to represent me. From the beginning, he was very responsive and made sure to give me the proper care I deserved from this accident. Him and his team fought tooth and nail to give me the best settlement I deserved. I am so thankful, and I highly recommend Phillips Law Group to represent anyone who has been in any accident and...

My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

I am very impressed by how much care and effort this group puts into helping the homeless. That’s not something you see enough, especially in this time of increasing need for community. It’s important to me to work with companies that align with my views, and I would definitely go to Phillips for any future personal injury lawyer needs.

Rich S.

Just would like to share my experience with Phillips And Associates. Ever since my accident in the first of the year, it was a life changing event for me and I finally decided to go with a personal injury attorney. I contacted Phillips And Associates and they made me feel like I was an actual person instead of a lot of other firms try to go with me like a number, Phillips And Associates has reached out to me in a kind, courteous and caring way they fully understand on the circumstances of the accident So far, Phillips And Associates has been absolutely wonderful. I truly recommend going with Phillips And Associates. Thanks (RuthAnn), your the Best!!! And Thank you...
