Clergy Sexual Abuse Attorneys That Get Results
Were you sexually abused by a priest or clergy member? You could be entitled to significant compensation for physical injuries and emotional trauma caused by your abuser. Abuse by a trusted member of the church—someone you and your family lean on for comfort, support, and strength—is devastating.
Survivors of sexual abuse often experience psychological issues that last for years after the abuse occurred. Every aspect of your life can be affected. If a clergy member sexually abused you, you need not suffer alone. The clergy sexual abuse lawyers at Sommers Schwartz, P.C., have decades of success standing up for survivors of injury and abuse.
Our trial attorneys are passionate advocates who create winning strategies that help our clients achieve the justice and compensation they deserve. We understand your case is extremely sensitive, and we work hard to make the process as easy for you as possible. Call today for a free and confidential case evaluation.
What Compensation Is Available for Sexual Abuse Survivors in Michigan?
It doesn’t matter if you are a male or female or if your abuser was a man or a woman – any scenario where someone made unwanted sexual advances or unwanted sexual contact with you is not okay. You deserve justice after such a traumatic time in your life.
The Michigan attorney general has investigated and charged numerous priests within the Catholic Church.
While sexual abuse may be prosecuted as a criminal offense, criminal penalties don’t compensate you for the pain and emotional suffering you experienced from the abuse. A sexual abuse lawyer will help hold your abusers financially accountable.
You could be entitled to compensation for:
- Anxiety, depression, and emotional distress.
- Post-traumatic stress disorder.
- Medical bills, including costs for ongoing therapy or counseling.
- Lost wages if the abuse resulted in your inability to work.
- Treatment of physical injuries resulting from the abuse.
- Loss of enjoyment of everyday life activities.
- Embarrassment or damage to your reputation in the community or church.
It’s incredibly brave to come forward and stand up to priests or clergy members who have abused you. We stand with you every step of the way to fight for justice for you and your family.
