File a Michigan Clergy Sex Abuse Claim

Survivors of Priest Sexual Abuse in Michigan Have New Rights Under Expanded Statute of Limitations

If you or a loved one is an adult survivor of sexual abuse by a Catholic priest or clergy member in Michigan, you may have new and expanded rights to file a Michigan priest sexual abuse lawsuit to recover compensation for damages.

In 2023, the Michigan legislature made landmark changes enabling survivors of child sexual abuse to pursue justice in a court of law for incidents that took place decades ago. This change comes in the wake of a multi-year investigation by the office of the Michigan Attorney General into priest sexual abuse allegations dating back to the 1970s.

More than 450 priests have been implicated in over 800 allegations of Michigan priest sexual abuse--so far. Now these survivors can bring forward Michigan priest sexual abuse lawsuits and seek damages for the associated pain, suffering and loss. Michigan priest sexual abuse lawsuits aim to hold institutions, such as Catholic dioceses, parishes and schools, responsible for harm caused to the children and youth in their care.

Michigan follows several other states including California, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania and our attorneys anticipate the Michigan Catholic Church will establish a victims compensation to handle the large number of claims that can be expected.

Even if the abuse occurred decades ago, you may be eligible for compensation under Michigan's new law. Contact our Michigan priest sex abuse attorneys for a free consultation.
