To better service victims of doctor-patient sex abuse and molestation in High Point, Abuse Guardian (+1-267-974-1069) has designated Atty. Kristen Beightol to provide legal consultations to North Carolina.

Garnet Valley, United States - January 12, 2024 /PressCable/ —
This announcement comes as sexual abuse — including those committed by medical professionals like psychotherapists — remains underreported. The sensitive nature of such abuse, coupled with potential power imbalances, often prevents victims from seeking help. Recognizing this problem, Abuse Guardian provides preliminary consultations, allowing survivors to understand the legal options available to them.
More information about Atty. Beightol is available at https://abuseguardian.com/sexual-assault-lawyer/north-carolina/doctor-patient-sex-abuse-nc/
Atty. Beightol brings 25 years of legal expertise to the role, covering both personal injury and healthcare-related cases. As the founding partner of Edwards Beightol, she has helped clients secure compensation for victims, including for medical bills, future treatments, lost income, and pain and suffering. In appointing Atty. Beightol, Abuse Guardian expands its nationwide network of allied lawyers to 15.
In research surveys, 9 to 12% of mental health professionals admit to having sexual relations with their patients. As an article from The Boston Globe notes, however, this figure may actually be an underestimate. This is a clear violation of their duties as doctors as they take advantage of power dynamics and the vulnerability of patients under their care.
Atty. Beightol understands that patients may be afraid to sue a psychologist but stresses that doing so can prevent others from being victimized. She is adept at establishing breach of duty, causation, and damages, crucial elements for successful claims. Her legal expertise extends beyond individual perpetrators, holding medical institutions accountable for their negligence in protecting patients or failure to report abuse.
Having handled many similar cases, Abuse Guardian’s legal advocate recognizes the emotional toll of sex abuse and molestation. She provides compassionate support and guidance throughout the legal process, connecting victims with resources such as support groups and advocacy organizations to aid in their healing journey.
The lawyer says: “You deserve to be heard and compensated for the harm you have suffered. I am committed to gathering evidence, building a strong case, and fighting tirelessly for maximum compensation.”
