Historical Abuse Claims
Owen Beattie Solicitors have extensive experience and specialism in representing victims who have experienced abuse in the past. Historical abuse may involve physical, sexual, or emotional harm, and is often inflicted by individuals in positions of trust, such as individuals working within institutions, schools, care settings, or other organisations.
Such cases can be complex, sensitive, and emotionally challenging for individuals and their families. Owen Beattie Solicitors therefore offer compassionate and dedicated support and guidance throughout the entire process, and are committed to securing compensation for our clients.
The approach adopted by Owen Beattie Solicitors in dealing with such claims is complimented by working closely with an experienced and dedicated team, including barristers, medical professionals, forensic accountants, and other experts.
Owen Beattie delivered two seminars on behalf of the Law Society of Northern Ireland, focusing on guidance and best practice when lodging applications to the Historical Institutional Abuse Redress Scheme. Owen also assisted the Society with the preparation of its July 2023 guidance document regarding best practice for the Historical Institutional Abuse process.
