Historical sex abuse claims. If you have been the victim of historic sexual abuse then we can help you claim the compensation you deserve.
By definition, the abuse took place many years ago and therefore comes with its own issues, problems, and complexities that may well need to be dealt with.
More often than not the abuse was carried out, or facilitated in an institutional setting such as a school, church, or sporting institution. Victims of institutional abuse have the opportunity to bring either a civil claim or make an application to the CICA for a compensation award. Usually, it is advisable to pursue both avenues so as to increase the chances of obtaining compensation.
We appreciate that no amount of compensation can ever undo the pain and suffering caused, however, it can help you to move forward or to start a new life, possibly retrain or return to education, or simply feel that someone has finally listened.
Making historical sex abuse claims
Your enquiry will be dealt with in a sympathetic, confidential, and professional manner to provide you with the advice needed to help you make the decision on whether to pursue the matter further.
We would look to claim compensation for the mental trauma and any long-term mental health problems that may have been caused by the abuse.
We will also claim for any physical injuries caused by the abuse.
If as a result of the abuse such as a reduced or limited ability to work we would include a claim of lost income both past and future. This would be as well as any other financial losses that you may have occurred. If you needed or have already undergone treatment or counseling we would include the cost of this as part of your claim.
