If you've experienced physical or sexual abuse, it may not feel like there's anyone you can turn to. But there are support systems in place for abuse survivors, and our solicitors could help you claim compensation from those responsible.
We understand that these sexual abuse cases require specialist knowledge, experience, and sensitivity. Our specialist team of criminal injury and abuse lawyers has acted for hundreds of abuse survivors over the past two decades.
We've helped people claim for abuse that occurred in a number of circumstances, and we have extensive experience with child abuse cases. Claims could be made against:
- The individual who committed the abuse
- An organisation responsible for that person, usually an employer
- An organisation that should have taken steps to prevent abuse, but failed – such as social services
- Historical abuse claims - You generally have three years from the date the abuse occurred to make a claim, or by your 21st birthday if you were under 18 at the time, but there is often a case to be made for pursuing compensation after this date.
Whoever your claim is against, we'll work closely with you, in total confidentiality, throughout your case. Our solicitors have dedicated their careers to helping survivors of sexual and physical abuse, and we can help you too.
It's perfectly normal to have doubts about making a claim, and some of our clients worry about facing a sexual abuser in court. But we handle every aspect of your case for you and, in our experience, the vast majority of sexual abuse claims are settled out of court. Of course, if you do have to appear in court, we'll be there to represent and support you at every step of the way.
Even if the sexual abuse happened many years ago, you may still be able to claim for historical abuse cases. We've helped a number of our clients claim for non-recent sexual abuse that happened decades ago. Contact us online or call on 0800 022 3503 today for a free initial consultation with one of our solicitors – we're here to help.
When you make a claim with us, we put your wellbeing at the heart of everything we do. Providing you with the care and support you need to deal with the traumatic experience of abuse or an assault is as important to us as ensuring you receive financial compensation.
Our client liaison managers can work with you from the beginning of your case if needed, helping us understand what support you need, and how best to help you access it. We also work with a number of organisations that offer extensive support to survivors of violent crime and abuse. Our approach to our clients' rehabilitation is extremely well respected in the industry.
