A sexual abuse claim is not like other cases in Sydney. The effects of sexual abuse can be long-standing and affect your mental wellbeing, interpersonal relationships, and even employment. So, you need a lawyer who understands your position and is willing to go the extra mile to help you. At MTM Legal, we are willing to handle everything and help you claim compensation.
You can claim for sexual abuse under the National Redress Scheme or Common Law, depending on the circumstance surrounding your abuse. You could claim under the National Redress Scheme if you were sexually abused while under 18 years and the abuse occurred while you were in the care of an institution that participates in the Redress Scheme. You will be entitled to a redress payment of up to $150,000, psychological counselling, and a direct response from the institution responsible for the abuse.
You can claim under Common Law if you do not meet the criteria for the National Redress Scheme or in the event a Common Law claim would be the most appropriate course to take in your case.
Our lawyers understand all the laws that apply to your claim, and by enlisting our team, you will increase the odds of winning your case and recovering maximum compensation.
At MTM Legal, our lawyers can advise you on the best option to choose for your sexual abuse claim in Sydney. Our lawyers handle these cases regularly and will assist you in every step, including advising you on the legal cost and implication of bringing a claim under the Common Law instead of the Redress Scheme. We also help you select the best option for your particular sexual abuse claim.
At MTM Legal, we operate on a conditional cost agreement – that means if you are not successful in your claim, we will not charge you legal costs.
