Frequently asked questions
Illinois law allows survivors of childhood sexual abuse to file claims at any time—there’s no statute of limitations for criminal charges, and civil claims have extended deadlines.
Yes. Illinois law recognizes that trauma can delay reporting. Even if the abuse occurred decades ago, you may still have the right to seek justice and compensation.
While evidence can strengthen your case, it’s not mandatory. Your testimony, witness accounts, or patterns of abuse at an institution can be enough to support your claim.
Absolutely. We prioritize your privacy and safety. Survivors’ identities can be protected in legal filings and court proceedings to ensure confidentiality and respect.
While not mandatory, a police report significantly strengthens your claim by providing third-party verification of the incident.
While not required, these strengthen your claim:
Counseling records (PTSD, depression, etc.)
Hospital/ER visits related to the abuse
Medication history (antidepressants, anxiety meds)
Expert evaluations (trauma psychologist reports)
We help gather these if you don’t have them.
We connect you with:
Sliding-scale clinics
Survivor support programs (free/low-cost)
Medical liens (treatment deferred until case settles)

Start with what you have (we handle the rest):
Personal account of the abuse (written or verbal)
Names/dates (abuser, institution, approximate timeline)
Emails/texts (if relevant to grooming or cover-ups)
Yes, anytime. We’ll reassign your case with no penalty—your comfort is priority.
Institutional cases (churches/schools): Their liability insurance often covers settlements.
Online abuse (Meta, etc.): Corporate insurers may pay.
No insurance? We sue abusers/assets directly. You pay nothing upfront.
You can still sue:
Their estate (if they’ve passed)
Enabling institutions (e.g., dioceses, school districts)
Third parties (e.g., social media platforms for grooming cases)
No. We work on contingency—you only pay if we win (typically 25–40% of settlement).

$200K–$800K for individual abusers
