¿Cuál es el valor promedio de un caso de abuso sexual en un centro de detención de menores?

Having a sense of what can be recovered from these lawsuits is valuable information, and we can say for certain that settlement values are typically high with these cases. But it’s important to understand that your situation is unique, with its own set of injuries and lifelong complications. That’s why it’s important to discuss your case with an experienced attorney, who can help you determine what your lawsuit is worth.

As we can only provide estimates, it’s in your interest to schedule a free consultation with one of our attorneys in California. That way, we can talk about all the necessary factors that apply to your situation and determine a settlement value that’s adequate for what you’ve gone through. Please call our firm in California if you’re interested in learning the approximate value of your own sexual abuse claim against Kearny Mesa Juvenile Detention Facility.

Factores que se utilizan para determinar el valor de una demanda por abuso sexual

En esta sección, le brindaremos información sobre los factores que se utilizan para determinar el valor de un caso de abuso sexual. Es esencial repasar estos factores, ya que no hay dos casos iguales y existen diversas circunstancias que diferenciarán un caso de otro. A continuación, se muestran algunos ejemplos de los elementos que necesitaremos evaluar antes de poder comenzar el proceso de cálculo de sus daños:

• ¿Qué tipos de actos sexuales sufrió la víctima?
• ¿Cuál era la edad de la víctima en el momento del abuso, en relación con la edad del perpetrador?
• What were the injuries sustained by the victim (which include physical and emotional injuries)?
• ¿La víctima tiene problemas de salud a largo plazo o de por vida debido al abuso, incluidos daños psicológicos como trastorno de estrés postraumático, depresión, ideación suicida y trastornos del sueño?
• ¿Cómo han afectado las lesiones de la víctima a su potencial de ingresos, sus relaciones interpersonales y otros aspectos de su vida?
• ¿Hubo actos de negligencia grave por parte del acusado para encubrir evidencia de abuso sexual contra la víctima u otros niños en la misma instalación? 
• ¿Qué tipo de acción legal está llevando a cabo la víctima (presentar una reclamación por su cuenta o unirse a una demanda colectiva)?  

We know these are very specific questions that will not be easy to talk about. However, our goal is to bring you justice by obtaining the highest possible settlement from the system that failed you. Please know that our lawyers in California have extensive experience with sexual abuse claims against foster care homes, school systems, and various other entities that are charged with the care and nurturing of children. You can count on us to treat you with compassion and respect as we fight for the compensation you deserve.

¿Cuánto tiempo tardan en resolverse estos casos?

At the end of the day, suing for a case of childhood sexual abuse is about justice and providing victims with a sense of resolution so that they can move on with their lives. That’s why our main priority is to settle your claim as fast as possible, while ensuring that you receive a fair amount of compensation. Achieving both of these goals can be a time-consuming process, though we strive to bring closure to all cases within 6 to 8 months.

Sin embargo, las demandas contra instituciones gubernamentales suelen tardar más en resolverse, especialmente cuando se trata de un asunto delicado como la agresión sexual contra menores. Dependiendo de las acciones legales que se necesiten (por ejemplo, si su caso va a juicio), puede llevar 2 años o más recuperar la indemnización que le otorgaron las partes responsables.

¿De cuánto tiempo dispongo para presentar una demanda?

The answer to this question is a bit complicated in the state of California due to the provisions of Assembly Bill 218. Essentially, you have up to the age of 40, or 22 years after turning the age of consent, to sue for an incident of child sexual assault. However, it can take child victims a very long time to confront, or even recognize that they were abused in such a manner by the adults that were supposed to protect them. That’s why the law also allows adult survivors up to 5 years after discovering the effects of child sexual abuse to bring forth a lawsuit. We can explain exactly what this means during a free consultation, so that you can choose the statute of limitations that applies to your situation. Keep in mind, however, that it’s important to take action sooner than later, so that you can be one step closer to receiving compensation and putting this painful incident behind you.   

¿Necesita una segunda opinión?

Have you filed a Kearny Mesa Juvenile Detention Facility sex abuse claim with another law firm?
