¿Puedo demandar por agresión sexual en la prisión de Chowchilla?

Yes, you could have the right to sue. As mentioned above, the prison is operated by the state, so you could actually sue the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation for the harm that you or your loved one suffered. All prisons have a duty to keep inmates safe while they are detained. If they are harmed in any way as a direct result of the prison’s failure to screen all prospective employees, train employees, supervise employees, supervise inmates, or even take action when there are reports of abuse, then the prison could be found liable. It is also important to note that sexual abuse in prison falls into the category of “cruel and unusual punishment” as protected by civil rights; therefore, therefore, the prison may also be held accountable for violating prisoner civil rights if sexual abuse occurs.

¿Puedo recuperar una compensación por abuso sexual en la prisión de Chowchilla?

Yes, in California, you could be eligible to recover compensation. Based on the details surrounding your claim, you could potentially recover compensation for medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, punitive damages, treble damages, and legal fees, for example. These cases tend to be high value cases, because of the extent of the harm caused by sexual abuse. In addition, in cases of coverups, claimants may be eligible to receive up to three times their damages (treble damages).

¿Cuánto se tarda en resolver estos casos? Our legal team in California understands that it can be very difficult for claimants to essentially relive the abuse through these cases, so they want to resolve them as quickly as possible. Our lawyers are committed to settling these cases within six to eight months, although some cases can take up to two years to settle. Class action claims against prisons, specifically, can take many years to settle.
