WHAT IS THE AVERAGE SETTLEMENT FOR CLERGY ABUSE LAWSUITS

Posted by Lauren Beck | May 06, 2024 | 0 Comments

According to Bishopaccountability.org the average settlement for "clergy sex abuse" victims is $268,000.00.  However, some survivors have been awarded larger sums into the millions.  Settlements in a child abuse sex case vary based on multiple factors, including:

  1. The severity or duration of the abuse.
  2. The treatment costs for mental and physical injuries resulting from the abuse.

In total, Catholic dioceses in the United States have paid more 3 Billion dollars in sexual abuse settlements over the course of several decades.  Individual settlement amounts range considerably depending on the unique circumstances of each case.  I am here to help if you or your loved one has been impacted by clergy sex abuse please call for a free confidential consultation.
