Last year, the specialist abuse claims team at Farleys successfully recovered damages worth more than £4million for survivors of abuse.
The team is nationally renowned and are regularly instructed to act on behalf of clients who have experienced terrible childhood abuse, whether at the hands of a family member, a school teacher, sports coach or another individual in a position of trust.
They are also highly experienced in dealing with claims to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA).
In 2023, the team concluded claims for clients including those who experienced abuse at the hands of family members, grooming gangs, school teachers, and foster carers.
They’ve dealt with numerous claims to the CICA, including reopening claims and challenging refusals. In one instance they secured a settlement of £98,000 for a client who was originally offered just £16,500. You can read more about that in our case study.
Our specialist abuse claims team is led by partner Jonathan Bridge. Jonathan has over 20 years’ experience assisting survivors in recovering damages, with many gaining a sense of closure on their experiences as a result.
Jonathan commented,
We’re proud to have been able to secure some great settlements for our clients in 2023. Although no amount of money can ever take those experiences away, the funds can go a long way towards paying for treatment and counselling to cope with what’s happened.
We know it can be difficult for survivors of abuse to speak about their experiences but taking that first step in getting in touch with an abuse claims specialist and getting someone on board to fight your corner can ultimately bring a sense of closure.
