Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Who is eligible to file a clergy abuse claim?

Anyone who experienced sexual abuse, assault, or misconduct by a clergy member may be eligible to file a civil claim. In many cases, claims can also be brought against the religious institution if the organization failed to prevent, report, or properly respond to the abuse. Parents or legal guardians may pursue legal action on behalf of their children.

How long do I have to file a clergy abuse claim in Los Angeles?

California law provides extended timeframes for survivors of sexual abuse to pursue civil claims, particularly for abuse that occurred during childhood. In some situations, survivors may have years after discovering the harm caused by the abuse to file a claim. Because deadlines (known as the statute of limitations) can vary based on the facts of each case, it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to understand your specific timeline.

How much does a Los Angeles clergy abuse lawyer cost?

At Kayla’s Survivors of Los Angeles, our clergy abuse attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are no upfront costs to get started. Legal fees are typically only collected if a recovery is made through a settlement or verdict.
