Child abuse compensation claims

Bolt Burdon Kemp’s dedicated team of solicitors specialising in child abuse claims should be your first choice if you have been the victim of sexual, physical or emotional abuse in childhood.

Our child abuse claims team represents children, as well as adults who have been traumatised by recalling events of abuse in childhood which often occurred years ago and remained long buried.

We act for clients nationwide, both in one-off cases and large group actions. We also assist with applications for child abuse compensation to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA).

We sue individual abusers, their employers, foster parents, operators of children's homes and schools, social services departments which placed children in care, or failed to protect children being abused at home, religious organisations and charitable foundations... the list is a long one.

Our expert solicitors are members of the Association of Child Abuse Lawyers, the Law Society's Specialist Personal Injury Panel and the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers. We are quality approved by the Legal Services Commission to undertake legal aid work for child abuse compensation claims.

If you think you may have a claim for child abuse compensation, please get in touch for free initial advice from sensitive professionals.
