Frequently asked questions
General questions about this site and a free case review. Questions about a specific lawsuit are answered on its own page.
Does a case review cost anything?
The initial case review is free. If you choose to hire a law firm, the firm will explain its fees and any costs before you agree.
Will I be charged if my claim is not accepted?
No. You will not be charged for the initial review, even if a law firm decides it cannot take your case.
How does a law firm make money?
Most firms that handle these cases work on contingency: you pay nothing upfront, and the firm is paid a share of any money it recovers for you. The firm explains its terms in writing before you sign anything.
What happens after I request a review?
A law firm may contact you to ask questions, learn more about your situation, and discuss possible next steps. The firm decides whether it can take your case.
Do I have to move forward?
No. Requesting a review does not require you to hire a lawyer or file a lawsuit. You decide whether to take any next step.
What information do I need to provide?
Start with your contact details and a short outline of what happened. We never ask for a child's name or a detailed description of abuse. A law firm may ask for records later.
Who decides whether I may have a case?
A lawyer can assess whether you may have a legal claim and whether the firm can take it. A review does not promise that a case will be accepted or succeed.
How can I ask to have my information deleted?
Use the Delete My Information page to ask us to remove information you submitted. If a law firm received your information, contact that firm separately about its records.
