You Do Not Have to Report Immediately to Be Affected You Just Have to Be a Survivor
If you experienced abuse in Illinois whether as a child or adult and are now dealing with emotional, psychological, or physical effects, you may be eligible to file a legal claim. It does not matter how long ago the abuse occurred or whether the abuser was criminally charged. What matters is your story and your right to seek justice.
You may qualify for an Illinois Abuse Lawsuit if you are:
➤ A Survivor of Childhood Abuse
Experienced abuse in a school, religious institution, foster care system, or group home.
➤ A Victim of Institutional Negligence
Were harmed because an organization failed to protect you from known or suspected abusers.
➤ A Patient in a Care Facility
Experienced mistreatment, assault, or neglect while under the care of medical or residential staff.
➤ A Member of a Religious or Community Group
Were abused by clergy, coaches, or leaders in positions of trust or authority.
➤ Someone Living With Long-Term Trauma
Are struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other emotional effects connected to past abuse.
Whether your abuse occurred recently or decades ago, you have legal rights. We help survivors across Illinois connect with experienced, compassionate attorneys who will review your case confidentially and at no cost and support you through every step forward.
