Overview
- Hartford’s $100 million proposal, disclosed Monday in court filings, would resolve some claims and includes buying back all Archdiocese of Baltimore insurance policies.
- The payment would be made only after the archdiocese adopts a reorganization plan, according to attorneys for survivors.
- Survivors’ lawyers called the offer a significant step yet far from enough and urged the church to accept a plan while pressing other insurers to make comparable offers.
- The archdiocese said it remains committed to working with the Survivors Committee to reach an agreed resolution in the Chapter 11 case.
- A 2023 Maryland attorney general report found more than 600 children were abused under church supervision, more than 900 suits followed, and a $33 million church proposal in 2025 was rejected by survivors.
