Appointed mediator for New York’s abuse claims after administering Los Angeles’s $880M settlement
The New York Archdiocese's $300 million settlement proposal faces a new obstacle: in a January 31, 2026 court filing, Cardinal Timothy Dolan accused insurer Chubb of secretly operating a website called the "Church Accountability Project" to encourage abuse survivors to sue the archdiocese while simultaneously denying insurance coverage for those claims. The archdiocese says Chubb presented the site as an independent victims' rights initiative but used it to weaken the church's negotiating position. Retired Judge Daniel Buckley has been appointed to mediate talks with roughly 1,300 claimants, but the escalating Chubb dispute threatens to derail a non-bankruptcy settlement path.
