Who is liable for harm resulting from incidents at Job Corps? This is a very important question. Ultimately, liability for these incidents is based on the negligence of the property owner. Property owners have a duty to ensure that their premises are free of any hazards that could ultimately lead to incidents.
Slip and falls, trip and falls, falling object incidents, etc. can occur as a direct result of property owners (and their management) failing to identify hazards like wet floors, slippery surfaces, uneven surfaces, torn carpeting, improperly misplaced shelves, and more. However, some incidents are not as straightforward. Assault and battery and sexual abuse incidents, for instance, are different. These incidents occur due to the intentional actions of the attacker. Still, there are many factors within the property owner’s control that could contribute to these incidents. These could include poorly lit areas, isolated areas, a lack of surveillance, a lack of security, negligent hiring/supervision, and more.
For more information about liability for any incident that occurs at Job Corps and your right to sue, please do not hesitate to reach out to our legal team. Our experts are ready to guide you every step of the way.
What Compensation Can I Recover?The compensation that you can recover will be based on the details surrounding the claim, including the type of incident that occurred, resulting injuries, and more. Some of the different categories of compensation can include the following:
- Medical costs
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Punitive damages
- Legal fees
In the case of wrongful death, claimants could be entitled to receive compensation for funeral and burial costs, loss of financial support, and loss of consortium, for example.
How much can I recover? What is the value of my claim? Although these questions are important, they require an in-depth case evaluation. For more information about the possible value of your claim, contact us as soon as possible.
How Long Do I Have to Sue?All claims are subject to a statute of limitations – or a deadline to sue. If claimants do not file their claims on time, they can lose their right to sue entirely. So, what deadline applies to your claim? In California, personal injury claims (slip and fall claims, trip and fall claims, falling object claims, etc.) are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. This gives claimants two years to file their claims. However, when government claims are involved, there is a strict six-month statute of limitations.
What about sexual assault? Cases of sexual abuse/assault are subject to an extended deadline. For example, minor victims have until the age of forty to file a lawsuit, while adult victims have ten years to file a lawsuit. As previously mentioned, claims involving government entities are subject to a shorter deadline.
To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the total length of time that you have to file your claim, contact us today. Do not risk losing your right to sue because you did not file on time.
What Should I Do?
No matter the specific incident that you or a loved one suffered on the premises of a Job Corps facility, it is important that you take the necessary steps to gather evidence and essentially prepare to file a civil claim. Consider some of the following recommendations:
- Take photos of any visible injuries
- Take photos of the scene of the accident (and of the hazards that contributed to the incident)
- File an incident report with management (request a copy of the report)
- If there was sexual abuse or assault and battery, file a report with local authorities as well
- Speak to witnesses and gather their contact information
- Identify any surveillance cameras that captured the incident
- Seek the guidance of an experienced accident attorney as soon as possible
