Institutions entrusted with the care of children have a duty to protect them.
At Shaffer & Gaier, we help victims and their families when these institutions fail, leveraging the law to secure just compensation.
These three settlements reflect our commitment to holding these institutions accountable.

Child Abuse in Northampton County High School – Confidential Settlement
Two school staff members dragged and manhandled a student, causing a rotator cuff tear. We obtained video evidence to refute the school’s denials and secured a settlement for his injuries. Read the full case.
While no outcome can undo the trauma, these results force negligent institutions to answer for their failures.
If you or someone you know has been denied just compensation, it’s time to take a stand.
