Maryland Child Victims Act Cases Can Finally Move Forward

After months of legal limbo, hundreds of survivors in Maryland can finally proceed with their Maryland Child Victims Act cases. The lifting of court stays represents more than procedural progress, it’s validation that survivor stories matter and that institutions must answer for their failures. For many, this marks the first real opportunity to seek justice under the state’s expanded statute of limitations for child sexual abuse.

Institutional Accountability Across States

This breakthrough aligns with recent victories in our department. We secured a seven-figure settlement for a survivor sexually abused due to institutional negligence at the Rose M. Singer Center at Rikers Island, underscoring a critical truth: whether abuse occurs in correctional facilities, religious institutions, or schools, organizations that fail to protect children can and should be held accountable.

Our work continues in New Jersey, where we are pursuing cases against private and public schools whose failures allowed predators access to vulnerable students. Each case strengthens the legal framework protecting future generations and reinforces the importance of trauma-informed legal advocacy.

Moving Forward Together

Whether you’re a survivor in Maryland seeking to file a Child Victims Act claim or an attorney seeking experienced co-counsel for institutional negligence cases, our Sexual Abuse Department brings proven expertise to complex litigation. We understand trauma-informed practice, navigate institutional defense tactics, and secure results that hold negligent organizations accountable.

Survivors deserve advocates who understand both the legal complexities and the profound courage it takes to come forward. Referring attorneys deserve partners who handle these sensitive matters with skill, compassion, and a commitment to justice.
