Indio Juvenile Hall Lawsuit Lawyer

Yes, you qualify for an Indio Juvenile Hall sexual abuse lawsuit if you were subjected to acts of sexual misconduct by an adult at the facility. Essentially, this includes any type of interaction between adults and minors (individuals under 18 years old), such as grooming, sexually explicit conversations, inappropriate touching, oral sex, and intercourse.

Prior to the age of 18, an individual cannot legally consent to sexual activity, thus the application of force is not a relevant factor. Even if the inmate believes that there was a loving relationship, any sexual interaction between an underage inmate and a juvenile hall staff member is child sexual abuse.

But if there is a specific person that committed the abuse, how is it that you are allowed to sue an entire institution? Essentially, these predators are enabled my acts of negligence, like inadequate hiring practices, lack of supervision, ignoring abuse allegations, and hiding evidence of sexual assault. It’s the supervisors of the facility and officials at the county level who are responsible for these issues. That’s why government agencies, like the Riverside County Probation Department, are liable for juvenile inmate abuse in just about every one of these cases.

You normally have 22 years after you turn 18 to bring a lawsuit against Indio Juvenile Hall for child sexual abuse. So, it would seem that the statute of limitations to sue for monetary compensation is based on your 40^th birthday. But you can also determine the deadline for a lawsuit by when you discover an injury that was caused by sexual abuse while staying at Indio Juvenile Hall.

Many victims do not realize the psychological harm they’ve suffered from being sexually abused until they are well into adulthood. This is due to a variety of issues, including long-term suppression of sexual assault and other traumatic incidents, which is extremely common in child victims. That’s why the age limit of 40 does not apply to a lawsuit for the sexual abuse of a minor.

The average value of a juvenile hall sex abuse lawsuit is $500,000 to $1,500,000 for claims of sexual harassment and $2,000,000 to $5,000,000 for incidents of sexual assault. Of course, there are many cases that result in lower or higher settlement amounts, regardless of the nature of abuse. It’s fair to say, however, that sexual assault lawsuits generate higher settlements, with some cases settling for over $10,000,000. If you are a member of a class action lawsuit, case values may be in the range of $50,000,000 to $350,000,000, but the resulting compensation award will be shared by all the plaintiffs.

On average, sexual abuse lawsuits against juvenile halls take around 1 to 2 years. This time period is just an estimate, and we do have cases where a settlement is achieved in just 6 months. However, if we look at the majority of claims we have handled over the years, 12 to 24 months is the most likely amount of time to settle a child sexual abuse lawsuit. The time required to settle these cases may be longer if we need to try your case in court. This is highly unlikely, considering that well over 90% of all sexual misconduct lawsuits are settled without court intervention. Should it be necessary to ask for a court date, settling a juvenile inmate abuse case can take up to several years.

Sexual abuse of minors has been a problem in juvenile justice centers for as long as these places have existed. Thanks to the courage of adult survivors in the past decade or so, along with changes in the laws, many city, state, and county agencies are finally facing consequences for many years of negligence and misconduct.
