Recent Louisiana Legislation for Abuse Survivors
Louisiana recently created a civil lookback window for sexual abuse survivors. If the abuse occurred on or after June 14, 2021, there is no time limit to take legal action. For abuse that occurred before that date, survivors may still have until June 14, 2027, to file a civil lawsuit. Don’t wait — contact our attorneys to understand your specific deadline.
What Damages Can Survivors Recover?
Survivors may recover economic damages (therapy and counseling costs, medical treatment, lost wages, reduced earning capacity) and non-economic damages (emotional distress, pain and suffering, anxiety and trauma, harm to personal relationships).
The New Orleans Archdiocese Bankruptcy Settlement
The Archdiocese of New Orleans reached a $230 million settlement with clergy abuse survivors. If you are a survivor who has not yet filed a claim, contact our attorneys immediately to discuss your options and ensure your rights are protected.
