If you are a survivor of priest sexual abuse, we want you to know first and foremost that what happened to you was not your fault. It is our mission to seek justice on behalf of you and others like you, and to help you access the compensation you need and deserve. Our Michigan priest sex abuse attorneys believe persons and family members of persons who were sexually abused by clergy members may be eligible for real compensation for the resulting pain and suffering by filing a claim against the institution responsible such as a Catholic diocese or school.
The State of Michigan has newly expanded rights for survivors of child sexual abuse to report incidents later in life. On average, survivors of child sexual abuse do not report the harm until the age of 52, often long after the statue of limitations has expired. The new laws for filing Michigan priest sex abuse lawsuits expand survivors' rights to report decades later. For too long, reporting priest sexual abuse has been connected with intense shame and stigma, and the Catholic Church has a long history of coverup, relocating priests to avoid scandal only to result in more abuse. That era is over, and many adult survivors are stepping up to file Michigan priest sex abuse lawsuits. Over 800 survivors made complaints to the Attorney General, and more than 450 priests have been accused of priest sexual abuse in Michigan.
Our attorneys handling Michigan priest sex abuse lawsuits are committed to holding the Catholic Church accountable for failing to protect the children in its care over decades--no matter how complex the case.
We believe that survivors must be in charge of decision-making when it comes to whether or not to file a Michigan priest sexual abuse lawsuit. Some survivors say it is cathartic to finally report harmful incidents in their past and seek justice through legal action. When large numbers of survivors speak out and demand accountability from the Michigan Catholic Church, it sends a strong message that this type of abuse will not be tolerated in the State of Michigan ever again.
