Case: 508 Unnamed Minors v. Roman Catholic Archbishop of Los Angeles, a Corporation Sole aka the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, and Various Related Entities. Sobs and a moment of silence for those who died during years of negotiations punctuated a Monday hearing at which a judge accepted a $660 million settlement between the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles and alleged victims of clergy sex abuse.
Beginning with his work on stress/fear hormones and his textbook on "Psychological Emergencies of Childhood" (Kliman, G. 1968, Ed. by Leo Bellak MD, Grune and Stratton, NY), Dr. Kliman has established his pioneering status and expertise in the field of understanding, preventing and treating psychological damage to children.
Our experts have been retained by defense or plaintiff attorneys in over 300 legal actions in which we gave testimony. Included are multi-plaintiff, class action and individual plaintiff suits alleging psychological damage caused by negligence of corporations, governmental agencies, foster care institutions, private and public schools, treatment and residential facilities, hospitals, medical practitioners and individuals.
I had the good fortune of being able to retain Dr. Kliman to work on a major school teacher molestation case. He guided me through the medical and life care issues with expertise. His handling of our clients by he and his very professional staff was outstanding and greatly appreciated. His reports were excellent.
