Historical sexual abuse claims

Historical sexual abuse claims

If you are a survivor of abuse, or a parent or guardian of a child or a vulnerable adult who has experienced abuse, you may be entitled to claim compensation for injuries or for the emotional and psychological damage suffered.

Our solicitors have a wealth of experience of pursuing compensation cases quickly and effectively. We understand the difficulties you may have in discussing what has happened, and we appreciate the fears and anxieties you may have about making a claim. We will do all we can to ensure you feel supported and guided throughout the process.

Our personal injury solicitors have an outstanding reputation for successfully and sensitively representing survivors of historical and recent sexual abuse. We have worked with clients in relation to claims brought against the Church of England, national charities, local authorities, sports associations, national organisations and private individuals.

We work closely with Suffolk charity Survivors in Transition which helps those affected by abuse by empowering them to take control of their lives.

We are members of the Association of Child Abuse Lawyers and the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers, and work with carefully selected experts, including doctors, counsellors, psychiatrists and specialist barristers to ensure that our clients have the best support possible when bringing their legal case.

We offer a No-Win No-Fee conditional fee agreements for our clients where appropriate.

Your next steps…

Please contact us in confidence and we will be able to advise you whether you might be able to bring a claim for compensation in your own circumstances. We will be happy to meet with you to discuss your case in a free initial appointment at one of our offices in Ipswich, Hadleigh, Felixstowe, Framlingham or Woodbridge.
