No. In New Jersey, lawsuits are permissible against certain types of organizations that historically may have been immune from civil actions for compensation. These organizations can be held retroactively accountable for willful, wanton, or grossly negligent acts resulting in sexual abuse. This includes churches, schools, the boy scouts, and other organizations that have failed on a supervisory level to prevent abuse and hire a predator. If you have any questions regarding a potential sexual abuse or assault claim, our attorneys are here to help. Contact KMHL&D for a confidential and free consultation.
