About Child Abuse Claims

Types of Claims

Child abuse claims can take several different forms, including physical, sexual, emotional and mental abuse. In our experience instances of abuse can take place at home, in school, in hospital, in clubs and in many other places. The perpetrators are generally individuals who have a degree of authority over their victims.

The ever-emerging Catholic Church child abuse scandal in Ireland is evidence of the damage that can be done to a person’s life when they are abused as a child and has also shed light on the culpability of Institutions who cover up abuse.

How We Can Help

Our solicitors are vastly experienced in bringing claims against the perpetrators of abuse and also against Institutions who cover up abuse. We can help victims to get compensation for the pain and suffering they have endured; this can help victims to gain some closure and move on with their lives.

Our clients are often concerned about having to appear in court and be in the public eye if they allege that they were abused. Our solicitors will advise that many cases settle outside of court and even if your case does go to court your identity can be concealed.

FAQs

Child abuse claims involve seeking legal recourse and compensation for individuals who have experienced physical, emotional, or sexual abuse during their childhood. These claims aim to hold the responsible parties accountable for their actions and provide financial compensation to the survivors for the harm they have suffered.

If you are a victim of child abuse and ask us to represent you, we will start by taking details of the event and assess what has happened and who is responsible. We will put together evidence in support of your claim and contact the relevant parties to advise them of the claim.

If the other side pleads guilty, we will negotiate with them to agree on the amount of compensation to be paid to you. Where they deny liability or the amount of compensation offered is not sufficient, your case will go to court. We will ensure that you have our support throughout and that you are represented by an expert child abuse advocate.
