You may have been told that you have no rights.

You do have rights, even if you were abused in an institution.

It may not be too late.

If you endured abuse while in a youth facility or institutional setting, you may still have the right to take legal action. Survivors are often told to stay silent — or made to feel powerless — but you are not alone, and you deserve justice.

Many victims carry the weight of silence for years. But it’s not too late to speak up, and legal action can help bring the justice, compensation, and accountability you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really have a case?

You might. If you experienced abuse, neglect, or mistreatment while in an institutional setting — even if it happened years or decades ago — you may be eligible to take legal action. A lawyer can help assess the details of your experience and advise you on your rights.

What counts as abuse or misconduct?

Abuse can take many forms, including:

  • Physical, sexual, or emotional abuse
  • Neglect or denial of basic needs (food, hygiene, medical care)
  • Excessive use of isolation or restraints
  • Harassment or threats
  • Being forced to witness the

    abuse of others

If you experienced anything that felt wrong, degrading, or harmful, it’s worth speaking with someone.

It happened a long time ago — is it too late to do anything?

Not necessarily. Many survivors believe they missed their chance to speak up, but laws have changed to give people more time. In some cases, legal action is possible even if the abuse happened decades ago. A lawyer can determine whether the statute of limitations still allows you to file a case.

What if I don’t have proof?

You do not need to have documents or physical evidence to start the process. Attorneys can help investigate your claims, gather records, find witnesses, and build your case. Your voice and experience are valid.

Will my identity be kept private?

Yes. If you choose, your identity can be protected throughout the legal process. Survivors often pursue legal action anonymously (for example, as “John/Jane Doe”).

What can I expect from the legal process?

The process may include:

  • Speaking confidentially with a lawyer
  • Gathering evidence or personal records
  • Negotiating a settlement or going to court, if necessary

Throughout it all, your legal team should offer guidance, support, and clear communication.

What kind of compensation could I receive?

Compensation may include:

  • Medical and mental health treatment costs
  • Pain and suffering
  • Lost opportunities or income
  • Other damages related to the harm you experienced

Will this cost me anything?

Our attorneys handling civil abuse cases work on a contingency basis — meaning you pay nothing upfront, and we only get paid if you win or settle your case.

I was told I had no rights. Is that true?

No. That’s not true. Many institutions created a culture of silence, but you have rights — and it may not be too late to assert them. Legal action is one way to reclaim your voice and pursue justice.

I'm scared to speak up. What should I do?

That fear is completely valid. You don’t have to go through this alone. Talking to a trauma-informed legal team can help you understand your options in a supportive, confidential space. We have both male and female attorneys on the team. Taking the first step doesn’t mean committing to anything — it just means finding out what’s possible.
