I have investigated cases like this and an attorney recently won a multi-million dollar award against a neurologist for similar allegations. The problem is that to the extent that there is insurance, the carrier may deny coverage, so you will have to go after the entity that hired the social worker who engaged in the sexual relations and prove that they knew or should have known that he was a person who would do these things.  Click here for an article that discusses the three main questions I ask when deciding whether to investigate a potential medical malpractice case.

Please understand that by answering your question in this informal forum I am not acting as your attorney. I am not doing anything to protect any legal rights that you have.  Medical malpractice cases need to be thoroughly investigated and to know whether you have a viable case, an attorney usually has to obtain and review all of the pertinent medical records and consult an expert.  John Ratkowitz, Esq. 105 Eisenhower Parkway Roseland, NJ 07068 Office: (973) 830-8441 Cell: (732) 616-6278 Fax: (973) 226-0031 Email: jratkowitz@starrgern.com.  Click here for my website.
