How A Religious Institution Abuse Lawyer Can Help You
As a result of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse that ran from 2013 to 2017, legislation has been changed to make it simpler for survivors to claim damages.
Key changes that were made include:
- Previous time limits on lodging claims have been removed so even if the abuse occurred many years ago you can still make a claim
- If you had previously accepted a settlement that you may have been pressured into accepting by an institution you can now have your claim reassessed
In addition to seeking justice for the wrongs that have occurred, financial compensation can help to ease the pain, suffering and impact on your quality of life as a result of the abuse. You can also claim for past and future loss of income, medical and out-of-pocket expenses (past and future) and the cost of care and assistance services.
