A person associated with an institution would include a volunteer, religious minister or priest, foster, parent, someone employed at the institution or a coach. Sadly, institutional abuse is common, and our abuse lawyers can assist you in this difficult process.
It is noted that if you accept a Redress payment, you cannot make a civil damages claim against that specific institution. Therefore, it is a good idea to explore your options so you can make the best decision for your matter.
Abuse can take many forms including emotional, psychological and economic and it is not limited to physical or sexual abuse. We, as lawyers for abuse victims, can assist you in establishing your claim for whatever type of abuse you have endured.
If the abuse occurred before the age of 18, there are no time limits on making a legal compensation claim. We recommend seeking legal advice as soon as you become aware or understand your rights about bringing a claim.
Damages are assessed based on court decisions in the same state or territory you are bringing your claim.
In the recent case with the Archdiocese of Melbourne, the claimant was awarded $1.9m in compensation for the abuse he had suffered. The victim lodged a civil against the Melbourne Archbishop claiming damages for injuries he suffered as a result of the abuse.
We believe all individuals have a right to fight for injustice regardless of their financial circumstances. That is why we offer to work for you on a No Win No Fee basis. You will not have to pay any legal fees unless we are successful in achieving compensation for your claim.
If we don't win you don't pay
