Holding Institutions and Authority Figures Accountable

Child sexual abuse often occurs in environments where children are expected to be safe and protected. When individuals in positions of trust abuse that authority, institutions may be legally responsible for failing to prevent, investigate, or stop misconduct.

We represent clients in cases involving:

• Religious organizations and clergy members
• Public and private schools
• Youth programs and athletic organizations
• Medical and counseling providers
• Residential and care facilities
• Other institutions responsible for child safety

Regardless of the size or influence of the organization involved, we are prepared to pursue accountability and protect our clients’ rights.

Experience in Clergy and Institutional Abuse Cases

Our firm has extensive experience handling claims involving clergy abuse and institutional misconduct. We have represented survivors in cases against Roman Catholic parishes and dioceses, as well as other religious and educational organizations.

We have successfully obtained significant verdicts and settlements on behalf of survivors and continue to represent individuals in complex institutional abuse cases throughout Connecticut.

Our work reflects a commitment to confronting systemic failures and ensuring that responsible organizations are held accountable.

Understanding Time Limits for Child Sexual Abuse Claims

Connecticut law recognizes that many survivors are unable to come forward immediately. For this reason, the statute of limitations for child sexual abuse claims is based on the survivor’s age rather than the date of abuse.

In most cases, survivors may file a civil lawsuit until at least age 48, and in certain circumstances, until age 51. Because these rules are complex and may change, it is important to obtain current legal guidance.

We can review your situation and explain how these deadlines apply to your claim.
