Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long do I have to file a Chicago clergy abuse claim?
Under Illinois law, survivors of clergy sexual abuse generally have 20 years from the date they discover the abuse (or reasonably should have discovered it) to file a civil claim. For childhood sexual abuse, survivors typically have 20 years after turning 18 to file a lawsuit. However, factors like delayed discovery, repressed memories, or institutional concealment can impact the timeline. Survivors should speak with an attorney as soon as possible to preserve their rights.
How much does a Chicago clergy abuse lawyer cost?
At Kayla’s Survivors, our Chicago clergy abuse attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are no upfront costs or legal fees. Our attorneys are only compensated if we are able to recover compensation for you, which is an agreed upon percentage of the total settlement.
What financial compensation can survivors of clergy abuse recover?
Survivors of clergy abuse may receive economic and non-economic damages, which includes financial damages associated with costs for therapy, medical care, pain and suffering, and any other damages, quantifiable damages that may have resulted from the abuse.
Can I remain anonymous throughout my case?
Yes, in many cases, survivors of clergy abuse and assault can file their claim anonymously. Often this is done with help from an attorney by filing under a pseudonym like “Jane Doe” or “John Doe” to maintain privacy of the survivor.
