Zum Ride Sexual Assault Attorney

The company has many requirements for their drivers. These vary from the drivers of non-traditional student transportation (cars, vans, etc.) and traditional student transportation (yellow school buses). All drivers must have a clean driving record, pass thorough background checks (that exceed state requirements), and are preferred to have a background in childcare. Without a doubt, it seems like the company is doing more than enough to ensure that their drivers do not pose a risk to the children being transported.

In addition, the company claims to have a zero-tolerance policy for driver drug use and alcohol use while driving. Also, there is a zero-tolerance policy for the use of mobile devices while driving with Zum passengers, as well as for any physical contact with riders.

Unfortunately, child sex abuse is very common – and it often occurs at the hands of people who are trusted by children and parents, alike, and who have access to children. If your child was sexually abused by during a Zum ride, you could have grounds to file a lawsuit.

Finding out that your child was sexually assaulted by a trusted adult is devastating. The company created the parent app to ease the mind of parents and to allow them to essentially know who is picking up and dropping off their children. However, even with these measures in place, drivers can harm children.

If your child was sexually assaulted on a Zum ride by a driver, you could have grounds to file a lawsuit against the company. This is because the company has a duty to keep students safe during transport; therefore, if any harm comes to students while in the care of Zum, then the company could be liable. In the case of sexual assault, specifically, the company could be found liable for negligently hiring, training, and supervising drivers. In addition, if the company failed to take any action after receiving reports from students, parents, or even other concerned employees, then the company could also be found liable.

What does this all mean? If your legal team can prove that the company was negligent in one way or another, then they can be successfully sued. Can I sue Zum Services, Inc. for child sex abuse? Yes – you can sue Zum. For more information about the legal options available to you, contact our Zum ride sexual assault attorneys today.

Zum works directly with school districts to provide transportation to students. If the school district was aware of reports of abuse and failed to take any action, then the school district could also be liable and could also be sued.

Many claimants – parents of victims and victims themselves – often reach out to us with questions about the possible value of their claims. These questions include the following:

• What is the average value of a child sex abuse case?
• How much can I recover for my child sex abuse case against Zum?
• What determines the value of my child sex abuse claim?

Ultimately, there is no one value that can represent all child sex abuse cases. If we tried to place a value on all child sex abuse cases, that value would be misleading. This is because every case is different, and there are many different factors that can affect the value of a claim. Instead of trying to establish one single value, we feel more comfortable with an estimated range value. These types of cases can range anywhere from $150,000 to $3 million – and they can reach even higher values.

Some of the different factors that can affect case values include the type of abuse suffered, the type and severity of injuries suffered, whether the injuries had permanent or lasting effects, whether the incident had mental and emotional effects, whether the company was grossly negligent, and even whether there was a cover up attempt (under California law, child sex abuse that was part of a cover-up could result in the tripling of damages awarded).

For more information about the possible value of your claim, it is important that you seek legal assistance for a thorough case evaluation.

This is also a very common question. The settlement process can take anywhere from just a few months to years. Again, it depends on a number of details. In cases of child sex abuse, liable parties often try to settle these cases as quickly as possible as to stay out of court and avoid negative media attention. In many cases, however, liable parties will try to pressure claimants into accepting low settlements. If you have the appropriate representation, you will not be cheated out of the settlement that you are owed. Here at our law firm, we always work towards getting you the maximum recovery available within a reasonable length of time.
