Represents roughly 300 New York claimants and hundreds more nationwide

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.

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.
