April 2022: The MDL Paraquat class action judge will have a status conference on April 1st to review where the litigation is headed and how best to take the bellwether lawsuits forward for trial in November 2022. 44 new paraquat lawsuits have been added to the MDL in the last two weeks. At this pace, April 2022 will be the busiest month for new files yet. Last week, the parties filed their class-action bellwether picks with the Paraquat MDL judge. Those choices, however, have not been made public.
May 2022: In the last month, over 50 new cases have been added to the Paraquat Lawsuit Multidistrict Litigation (MDL). A group of six patients was recently selected by the Paraquat MDL court for the initial Paraquat Parkinson's disease bellwether trials. As a result, the first trial in November 2022 is approaching soon. The strategy is to select 16 paraquat claims from among the almost 1000 Parkinson's disease litigation claims filed. Following some limited fact discovery in these instances, paraquat attorneys on both sides submitted a preference list to the MDL court, ranking the 16 cases in order of priority. Attorneys for plaintiffs seek the finest facts for their clients, while defense attorneys want the worst. The judge whittled the list down to six Paraquat claims based on these rankings.

File Your Claim Now
We listen first—confidentially. Then we gather records, identify the responsible entities, file the lawsuit or bankruptcy proof of claim where appropriate, and advocate for full and fair compensation. Many cases resolve through settlement; others go to trial. New Jersey courts and federal bankruptcy courts routinely allow measures to limit public disclosure of survivor names in sensitive matters. Throughout, you decide how much you participate and what details you share publicly. You are not alone—and you are not out of time in New Jersey. Share your story in a confidential consultation to understand your options. Seek the justice and closure you deserve.
New Jersey expanded civil time limits for sexual assault in 2019. If the abuse happened when you were a child, you generally have until age 55 or seven years from when you discovered the harm—whichever is later—to file a civil lawsuit. Civil claims can seek damages for therapy and medical care, pain and suffering, lost income, and other losses. Many survivors also seek accountability measures that promote institutional change. (Every case is different; we’ll assess your specific options.)

Catholic Church & Catholic Schools
In 2020, the Catholic dioceses of Newark, Paterson, Trenton, and Metuchen agreed to pay $87.5 million to more than 300 survivors of clergy sexual abuse, including Catholic schools operated by the diocese. Individual payouts ranging from hundreds of thousands to several million dollars depending on the severity and duration of the abuse.
In 2016, the Delbarton School, a Benedictine boarding school in Morristown, faced multiple lawsuits alleging abuse by monks and teachers. By 2019, the school had settled at least 30 lawsuits, with settlement amounts confidential but widely reported in the seven-figure range for individual cases.
Archdiocese of Newark: Newark paid $1.07 million to resolve claims from 10 survivors alleging childhood abuse by nine priests.
Statewide Compensation Program (IVCP): All five New Jersey dioceses launched an Independent Victim Compensation Program in 2019, administered by Kenneth Feinberg and Camille Biros. By early 2020, the program had paid over $10 million in more than 80 cases, with hundreds more claims under review; New Jersey bishops previously acknowledged about $50 million had already been paid to survivors over earlier decades.
Compensation for Survivors
Survivors of clergy sexual abuse deserve compassionate support, privacy, and a clear path to justice. Our New Jersey team helps survivors pursue claims against individual abusers and the institutions that enabled them—including Catholic dioceses, orders, parishes, and schools. Your name can be kept confidential during an initial case review, and you owe no fees unless we recover compensation for you.
Our legal team is dedicated to helping survivors pursue claims against the powerful institutions that enabled abuse.
