Rhode Island Passes Landmark Childhood Abuse Law
New legislation gives victims of childhood sexual misconduct 24 months to come forward and file a claim seeking financial compensation, even if the abuse happened decades ago.
The Rhode Island Attorney General released a report detailing child abuse by clergy throughout the state, leading to the new legislation. While the law was enacted as a result of the abuse of children by priests, it extends accountability to include doctors, hospitals, and clinics.
Time is limited. You must file a claim now before the upcoming deadline.
NEW RHODE ISLAND LAW 2026
Children nationwide have experienced various forms of sexual misconduct by doctors, nurses, and medical staff. These unspeakable behaviors include:
- Inappropriate touching
- Unnecessary exams
- Forcible assault
- Indecent exposure
- Unwanted comments
- Unnecessary/unrelated pictures or videos
These betrayals often happen in exam rooms, hospitals, or clinics where children are most vulnerable. Sometime abuse can happen when parents are asked to leave the room, parents are encouraged to talk to their children.
If this happened to you or your child, you are not alone.
Whether the abuse happened years ago or more recently, Rhode Island’s new law allows you to pursue a claim for a limited time, and hold powerful hospitals, clinics, and providers responsible.
