To better serve those who have been sexually abused by psychotherapists in Miami, Abuse Guardian (+1-267-974-1069) has appointed Atty. Michael Haggard as its Miami advocate.

Garnet Valley, United States - December 19, 2023 /PressCable/ —
The new Abuse Guardian for Florida serves as the Managing Partner of The Haggard Law Firm, which has a proven track record of winning million-dollar compensation for its clients. He has 23 years of experience and has litigated several therapists who have subjected patients to exploitative or inappropriate acts, including rape, harassment, and sexual innuendos.

In addition to helping clients sue individual psychotherapists, Atty. Haggard can also bring to justice mental health clinics or hospitals that fail to stop or cover up patient abuse. Hence, the lawyer can help clients get the maximum possible compensation from all liable parties, explains Abuse Guardian.
VIOLATION OF TRUST
While the vast majority of therapists abide by the proper code of conduct, some take advantage of the power imbalance between them and patients to commit abusive acts. Indeed, one study published in Professional Psychology found that about 6% of female clients have experienced some form of sexual misconduct by a therapist.
Atty. Haggard understands the complexity of suing a medical professional. As such, he and his team conduct in-depth investigations and evidence gathering to build a strong case, including collating medical records, interviewing witnesses, and commissioning expert opinions.
COMPASSIONATE LEGAL ASSISTANCE
As a lawyer who specializes in sexual abuse cases, Atty. Haggard prioritizes creating a safe and judgment-free space where patients can recount their harrowing experiences and explore their legal options. Moreover, he also offers no-fee preliminary consultations to help prospective clients understand the viability of their case.
STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS
Abuse Guardian’s legal advocate explains that prompt reporting is crucial since the statute of limitations in Florida is only four years since discovery or when a patient turns 18. However, there are many exceptions to this time limit, and Atty. Haggard can help clients explore legal avenues if the statute of limitations has already lapsed.
The experienced lawyer says: “Your therapist knows your most closely guarded issues, so it’s especially heinous when they violate your trust and sexually abuse you. Rest assured that I and my team will do everything possible to hold your doctor accountable.”

New major research has found that cases of several different kinds of cancer have risen sharply among young people in England, the US, and in the Netherlands. The number of people under the age of 50 diagnosed with prostate cancer in England has quadrupled since 2001. Researchers aren't exactly sure why there's been such an increase but say the broad reason could be linked to a growing rate of obesity, poor diets and a lack of exercise. FRANCE 24's Sharon Gaffney speaks with Jon Shelton, Head of cancer intelligence at Cancer Research UK.
The death of a 28-year-old Russian lab worker at Siberia’s Irkutsk Anti-Plague Institute has sparked online panic about a ‘plague’, despite the WHO assessing the public health risk in Russia as low.

Misleading posts and out-of-context videos have also fuelled speculation and fear. Vedika Bahl goes through them, and what we know, in Truth or Fake.
