Mental Cruelty Claims
Some survivors experience prolonged psychological and emotional injury as a result of manipulation, harassment, coercion, power imbalance, and targeted cruelty. Civil law recognizes these harms.
Claims may include:
- Intentional infliction of mental suffering;
- Negligent infliction of psychological and/or emotional harm; and
- Emotional abuse in relationships or institutional settings.
These claims often rely on expert evidence and a careful, trauma-informed presentation of the survivor’s experience.
Our team understands that pursuing a legal claim is an intensely personal and emotionally challenging process. We work with survivors in a trauma-informed, survivor-centred way, ensuring that each client’s needs, goals, and circumstances guide every step of the process.
This includes listening without judgment, respecting each survivor’s pace and level of comfort, minimizing unnecessary retelling of traumatic events, protecting privacy and safety throughout the process, and providing clear, transparent guidance at each stage.
