Daniel Clarke Abuse Claims

There’s no set amount of compensation you could claim for when you make a claim against Mr Clarke or his employers. When we calculate how much compensation we feel you’re entitled to, we will consider:

• The types of injuries you have sustained
• The severity of the abuse
• Care and specialist treatment you might need now and in the future
• Loss of earnings in the future.

Survivors of abuse, if abused as a child, have until their 21st birthday to make a claim at Court. As such, it is important the legal advice is sought as soon as possible.

It’s understood, however, by the courts that abuse survivors might find it difficult to report abuse. For that reason, judges will often waive the three-year time limit to making a claim.

You need to apply to the court to get the time limit waived, if you’re out of it. Our expert solicitors have a great understanding of the criteria that needs to be met. On lots of occasions we’ve helped abuse survivors get the time limit waived and their claim heard.

When deciding whether to waive the time limit, courts will consider:

• The reasons for not bringing a claim within the time limit
• The fairness to both the claimant and defendant if the time limit is waived
• Whether it’s possible to still have a fair trial.

Yes, our solicitors can take over from your current solicitors if you aren’t happy with the service they’re providing you.

We can offer a second opinion on your claim, and you can decide how you wish to proceed.

A group claim is a group of individuals who’ve experienced abuse from the same person making a claim as a collective.

The benefit of this type of claim is that you can save money on legal fees, because the group pool together for the legal support.

Because of the high numbers of claims we’re expecting against Daniel Clarke or his employers, it’s likely we’ll be able to use your claim as part of a wider group claim.
