Whilst there are no guarantees, most abuse claims resolve out of court at confidential, settlement conferences – where we speak on your behalf, so you do not have to (unless you want to share your story).
Abuse claims typically take 6-18 months to settle. Once we have a better understanding of your story, we will be able to give you a more realistic idea of the expected timeframe your claim will take.
The amount of compensation you may be entitled to will depend on your personal situation and the nature of the abuse that took place.
Compensation can often include payments for:
- pain and suffering
- income or wage loss
- treatment costs
- care and assistance or home help costs.
Depending on the size and type of claim, you may also be able to claim from the defendant a significant contribution to your legal fees.
