Yes. The Catholic Church created numerous funds to compensate victims of child sexual abuse. Survivors must agree not to sue, however, and instead attend mediation to discuss and present their claims. Mediation may be a good choice for many victims of child sexual abuse, as it is often a more private and quicker means of recovering compensation.
However, some survivors of Catholic Church abuse may not qualify to recover from the fund or would otherwise benefit from making a stronger claim for compensatory and punitive damages in Bradenton courts. Local sexual abuse litigation and mediation attorneys from Dolman Law Group can confidentially discuss the pros and cons of each avenue of recovery with survivors.
