Child Abuse Solicitors

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.

Compensation can be awarded for a range of issues, including:

• Psychological damage

• Financial losses, such as loss of earnings

• Physical and emotional suffering

• Medical expenses

We know that funding a child abuse compensation claim might be a worry, so we offer a range of options. These include:

• Legal Aid

• Legal expenses cover

• After the Event insurance (ATE insurance)

• Private payment

Generally, there is no specific statutory time limit for bringing a child abuse compensation claim. This is due to the recognition that survivors of child abuse may not immediately come forward or may repress their memories. As a result, the law provides some flexibility in allowing claims to be brought even many years after the abuse occurred.
