Chilao Campground Sex Abuse Lawyers


Chilao Campground Sex Abuse Lawyers sue liability lawyer incident attorney

The Chilao Campground is located in the Angeles National Forest near La Cañada Flintridge. It sits at an elevation of about 5,300 feet and offers panoramic views of Vetter Lookout and Big Tujunga Canyon. It includes 84 campsites spread out over 2 loops (Little Pines and Manzanita). Other amenities for campers include picnic tables, vault toilets, and dumpsters.

The campground is operated by the Forest Service. In general, there are minimal staff present at campgrounds. Because of this, incidents are likely to occur. When incidents occur, campers may not even have somewhere to report the incident and the resulting harm.

Sexual Abuse in Campgrounds

Unfortunately, sexual abuse can happen anywhere, including campgrounds. Individuals looking to decompress and spend time emersed in nature can be targeted and subject to horrific abuse. This can include some of the following:

  • Rape and attempted rape
  • Sodomy
  • Penetration with foreign objects
  • Forced kissing anywhere on the body
  • Forced touching, groping, fondling, etc.
  • Forcing the victim to perform any sexual act on the attacker
  • Forcing the victim to pose for sexually explicit photos or videos
  • And more

Without a doubt, any sexual misconduct towards a victim can have lasting physical and psychological damages. Some of the harm that victims could suffer could include the sexually transmitted infections, unwanted pregnancies, pregnancy-related complications, injuries to genitals, injuries to reproductive organs, injuries associated with a struggle or the use of force during the abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, fear, depression, panic disorder, and more. No matter the specific harm that you or a loved one suffered during a sexual attack at a campground, it is important that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible to explore the legal options available to you.

Can I Sue for Sexual Abuse at Chilao Campgrounds?

Based on the details surrounding the situation, you could have the right to file a lawsuit for sexual abuse that you suffered. This is based on the responsibility that the operators of the campgrounds have to keep the premises safe and keep guests (campers) safe. Although these operators may argue that they cannot be held liable for the malicious actions of others on the campground; however, if the operators knew or should have known of the risk present, then they can be held liable. In other words, even though the operators may not be held responsible for the very first sexual abuse incident, they could be held responsible for any other incidents that occur. Liability may be based on failure to have adequate staff present, guards patrolling, lighting near restrooms, etc.

In other words, the U.S. Forest Service could be liable for the harm resulting from sex abuse at campgrounds. For more information about the legal options available to you, contact us today.

How Long Do I Have to Sue?

All claims are subject to a statute of limitations – or a deadline to sue. If claimants fail to file their claims on time, they can lose their right to sue entirely. In California, adult victims of sexual abuse usually have ten years to file a lawsuit (or three years from the discovery of the harm caused by the abuse). If the victim was a minor, victims have until the age of forty (or five years from the discovery of the harm) to file their lawsuits. For more information about the total length of time that you have to file your campground sex abuse lawsuit, contact us today.
