According to British publication Telegraph, “Fritzl’s victims [planned] to sue him for millions of pounds in damages. Elisabeth and her six children [were] assigned state lawyers to help them handle media interest and their financial affairs. The cost of their therapy [was] expected to exceed £750,000 and Fritzl’s financial affairs [were] in such poor shape… that they might be left penniless.” The damage claims include sexual abuse, emotional and physical pain, and the lasting psychological impact that all the victims are expected to have. Experts to cases such as these predicted that each victim could claim at least 200 euros for each day that they were held captive.
