Services Jenner Law Will Provide for Your Maryland Clergy Sexual Abuse Case
A clergy sexual abuse lawyer from Jenner Law will handle all the legal tasks necessary in your case. By managing the legal process from start to finish, our team will:
- Ensure that you don’t have to relive the details of your abuse
- Protect you from interacting with individuals and institutions responsible for your abuse
- Allow you to continue focusing on your life without the distraction of a legal case
Duties we handle for sexual abuse survivors in Maryland include:
- Determination of liability: Whether your case involves the Catholic Church or another religious institution, we’ll identify all parties with liability for your damages.
- Documentation of the abuse: Your lawyer will secure any evidence that helps prove your abuse. This could include your own testimony, expert witness testimony, an abuser’s admission of abuse, or medical records.
- Documentation of any cover-up: If there is proof that an institution covered up your abuse, we’ll gather that evidence. For example, the Attorney General’s investigation into the Catholic Archdiocese of Baltimore suggests that the church did not properly bring allegations of abuse to the public’s attention. The report, therefore, could be useful evidence in related sexual abuse cases.
- Calculation of your damages: Our team will calculate the cost of your economic and non-economic damages. If you’re suffering ongoing damages related to your abuse, we’ll project the cost of your future damages.
- Settlement negotiations: The experienced attorneys at Jenner Law will represent you in settlement negotiations.
- Representing you in court: If the liable party will not settle fairly outside of court, our team will not hesitate to take your case to trial.
Sexual abuse by clergy members is inexcusable, and victims deserve a fair case outcome. The Jenner Law team will work tirelessly to hold an abuser and anyone who enabled their behavior accountable for their actions.
