The Average Value of a Los Padrinos Sexual Abuse Lawsuit

What Type of Compensation Is Available for Recovery?

You could certainly have grounds to recover compensation for the harm that you suffered. Some of the different categories of compensation available for your claim can include the following:

• Medical expenses
• Expenses for mental health services
• Pain and suffering
• Punitive damages
• Legal fees
• Wrongful death benefits: in the case of death, survivors could be awarded compensation for loss of support, loss of consortium, and funeral/burial costs

These are the categories of compensation that you could be awarded, but there is no guarantee that you will be able to receive compensation for all categories listed above. Here at our law firm, our experts are more than ready to fight for your rights and secure the maximum recovery available.

What is the Average Value of Child Sex Abuse Cases against Los Padrinos?

Trying to determine an average value for these types of cases can be difficult, and the result can be misleading. It is ultimately impossible to determine one value that can apply to all child sex abuse cases against juvenile hall detention centers. Rather, we can determine a range value. Some cases can range from $500,000 to $1.5 million. Often, case values surpass this range. In fact, most child sex abuse cases against facilities like detention centers reach multi-million-dollar amounts – from $3 million to $10 million.

It is important to note that child sexual abuse cases are usually associated with higher case values. This is due to many reasons, including that child sex abuse is known to have lasting consequences – physically, mentally, and emotionally. In addition, under state law, sex abuse cases that were part of a cover-up could result in damages being tripled.

Our lawyers are ready to explain things thoroughly and help you determine the possible value of your claim.

What Factors Determine the Value of a Sex Abuse Case against Juvenile Hall Facilities?

As mentioned previously, there are many different factors that must be taken into account when trying to determine the possible value of any claim. Some of these factors include the following:

• The type of sexual abuse suffered (like groping, attempted rape, rape, etc.)
• The harm resulting from the sexual abuse (including physical, mental, and emotional harm like injuries to reproductive organs, genitals, sexually transmitted infections, post-traumatic stress disorder, fear, depression, anxiety, etc.)
• The extent and permanency of the harm resulting from the abuse (i.e., whether the harm had lasting results that required extensive treatment/therapy or that caused the victim to struggle day to day)
• Whether the liable entity was grossly negligent
• Whether the abuse was covered up by the liable entity or other parties
• Whether it’s a single-action case or a class action case (e.g., class action cases typically are associated with higher case values because multiple claimants are represented)
• The competency of the legal team handling the claim
• Whether the sex abuse case settled out of court or went to trial (as taking a case to court is associated with higher legal fees and can often result in a higher verdict)

An experienced child sex abuse lawyer will be able to effectively evaluate these factors to be able to determine a possible case value for your child sex abuse case against Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall.

How Long Can It Take to Settle a Sex Assault Case against Los Padrinos?

Like the other questions addressed above, this question does not have a straightforward answer. The settlement process for these types of cases can vary significantly from case to case. In general, child sex abuse cases against juvenile hall detention centers can be settled in under two years. Class action claims, specifically, can take much longer than two years to settle. Ultimately, there are any factors that can affect the time that it can take to reach a settlement; some of these factors include whether all parties are cooperating and whether the claimant is responsive. In fact, even the competency of the legal team can affect the settlement process.

Here at our firm, we understand how difficult it can be to file a claim and have to wait for a settlement. For victims of child sex abuse, doing so can be even more difficult – as filing a claim can resurface traumas. Some claimants want to settle their claims as quickly as possible to finally be able the experience behind them. We understand this – so our lawyers are dedicated to doing whatever it takes to settle your case within a reasonable time frame. In general, our team aims to settle these cases in six to eight months. However, reaching a settlement within this timeframe is not always possible.
