California Lawyers For Clergy Abuse Cases
Clergy abuse is well documented in the media and in the legal record. In recent years, the Catholic Church in the U.S. has paid out millions in settlements to victims of sexual abuse by priests. However, priests are not alone in taking advantage of children who trust them. Ministers, pastors, rabbis and other religious workers have been charged with sexual assault or other sex abuse crimes by their victims.
Clergy abuse victims have recourse
The law allows individuals to file lawsuits for damages caused by abusive clergy. Because many of these cases are prosecuted many years after the child molestation occurred, proving liability can be challenging. It is important to have the representation of attorneys with experience in developing this type of child abuse case. CMS&C has helped victims of clergy abuse recover $10 million.
Our California law firm, founded in 1979, is known for its remarkable record of accomplishment in obtaining compensation for injured people, including victims of child sexual abuse. If you or your child has suffered abuse by a clergy person, contact Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook (CMS&C) to learn about your options. Call 925-947-1147 for a free initial consultation.
Compensation to help the victims of clergy abuse
These cases are particularly difficult because children have every reason to trust a clergyperson. When that trust is violated, the victim suffers psychological, emotional and sometimes even physical scars that may never fully heal. We help victims of these hideous crimes secure financial retribution from the offenders. The compensation they receive helps them pay for psychological and medical treatment so they can rebuild their lives.
