Speaking about abuse can be one of the hardest steps a person ever takes.
For many survivors, the harm does not end when the abuse stops. The effects can last for years, shaping mental health, relationships, confidence, work and everyday life in ways that are difficult to explain to others. Some people have lived with what happened in silence for a very long time. Others may be seeking help on behalf of a child, an older relative, or someone vulnerable who has been harmed in a setting where they should have been safe.
Abuse can take many forms, including physical, sexual and emotional abuse, and it can happen in families, care homes, social care settings and other environments where trust has been badly broken. If you, or a member of your family, have suffered abuse, even if it happened many years ago, you may be able to bring a compensation claim. While legal action may feel daunting, it can provide access to financial support and form part of a wider process of acknowledging what happened and helping you move forward.
At Lanyon Bowdler, we understand the immense courage it takes to come forward. Our specialist lawyers have years of experience handling abuse claims involving both children and adults, and we do so with the sensitivity, care and discretion these cases demand. Recognised by leading legal directories including Chambers UK and The Legal 500, we are committed to helping clients pursue answers, accountability and the practical and emotional support they need through the right organisations.

Unfortunately in England and Wales there are 85,000 female rape victims and 12 male victims every year, with only around 15% being able to face reporting their abuse to the police. We are here to support you through the process.
For many people, they cannot face the prospect of challenging their abuser in court, but our experience shows us that the vast majority of sexual abuse claims are settled out of court. In any case, our specialist lawyers will support you throughout the case from start to finish.
We have experience in dealing with a wide variety of abuse claims, including:
● Social worker negligence
● Local authority and council negligence
● Abuse in nursing homes
● Abuse involving the police
For many elderly and vulnerable people, a nursing home can sometimes be the best or only option available to them. Whilst the majority of nursing homes are staffed by caring and highly trained staff, there are occasions where the care given is unacceptably poor and falls below the reasonable standard of care we expect. When this occurs, it can lead to physical and emotional injuries to residents and they may be entitled to compensation to help restore their quality of life.
The police play an important role in trying to keep our streets and society safe. The police are granted special powers to help protect us. The police do, however, make mistakes and these mistakes can lead to people being hurt and injured, or wrongly arrested and when this happens the victim may be able to claim compensation to help cover any loss of income and suffering.
If you or a loved on have suffered, physically or emotionally, due to some form of direct or mental abuse that has been purposefully or negligently inflicted, you should talk to our Personal Injury Solicitors about your right to claim compensation for the harm suffered.
You can drop into our offices during working hours. No appointment is needed, just call in. Whilst we cannot guarantee you will see a legal advisor on the day, you will be able to speak confidentially with a member of our team who will record some key information so that a lawyer can discuss your matter further with you. Most of our offices have disabled access and convenient parking.
