More than 800 claims have been filed against New York foster care agencies, and survivors have recovered over $27 million in settlements.
Foster care agencies are being held accountable for the negligence and abuse the children in their care suffered.

Once you submit the form you will be taken to a short qualification questionnaire.
You qualify to sign up for a claim if you or a family member experienced sexual abuse while in the New York foster care system.
Children in New York foster homes and group homes were abused by the adults responsible for them.
In many cases, no one checked. Visits were missed, screening was inadequate, and complaints went nowhere.
Under the Child Victims Act, agencies can now be held legally responsible for the abuse children suffered.
We make bringing a claim simple, private, and straight forward.
It costs nothing to sign up and takes 3 to 5 minutes.
We have represented survivors of sexual abuse for decades.
In that time we've represented hundreds of survivors and helped them recover hundreds of millions of dollars from the institutions that failed them — including some of the largest abuse settlements in the country. Individual results have ranged from $675,000 to $9.8 million. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
Decades of this work means we've faced nearly every version of it — school districts, religious organizations, youth programs, foster care agencies. We know how these institutions respond when they're confronted, how they protect themselves, and what it takes to hold them accountable anyway.
You'll never pay anything out of pocket. We work on contingency, so we're only paid if we recover compensation for you — and if at any point you decide you don't want to pursue a claim, you can stop. That decision is yours from the first conversation to the last.
