New Jersey Victim Compensation Program
You May Be Entitled To Compensation
After releasing the names of 188 priests and deacons who have been accused of sexually abusing children, the five Roman Catholic Dioceses in New Jersey have approved the creation of the Independent Victim Compensation Program which will pay victims of church sexual abuse. They include: Camden, Metuchen, Newark, Paterson and Trenton. There will be no financial cap or limit on the amount that can be awarded to claimants. Factors involved in determining compensation include but are not limited to age of victim at the time of abuse, frequency of abuse, impact on victims life, and whether drugs or alcohol were involved. All claims must be submitted before December 31, 2019.
If you were sexually abused as a child by a priest, deacon or any other member of the church, you are not alone. We are here to help you. Please contact us today for a free consultation.
