Faith-based communities are built on trust, but when that trust is shattered by clergy sexual abuse, survivors are left grappling with deep trauma and betrayal. In Pennsylvania, survivors have the legal right to file civil claims against both the abuser and the religious institution that failed to protect them.
Our experienced clergy sexual abuse law firm work closely with survivors, providing compassionate, confidential legal services. We focus on holding churches, dioceses, and religious organizations accountable through powerful civil lawsuits.
When You Can Sue a Religious Institution:
You may have a civil claim if:
You were sexually abused by a religious leader
Abuse reports were hidden or dismissed
Leadership failed to act on known risks
Your abuser was transferred to another location without consequence
Safeguards to protect minors and vulnerable adults were absent
Civil action provides a path to justice even when criminal prosecution is unavailable or unsuccessful.
Recoverable Compensation May Include:
Therapy and mental health support costs
Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma
Medical treatment expenses
Loss of income or educational opportunities
Punitive damages for institutional negligence
We are committed to giving survivors the voice and justice they deserve.
