How Long Do I Have To File A Del Norte Juvenile Hall Lawsuit?
Many victims of childhood sexual abuse or assault find that it takes years or even decades to overcome their feelings of guilt or shame and decide to seek compensation for the harm they endured at Del Norte Juvenile Hall. For countless victims, even the thought of contacting Del Norte Juvenile Hall abuse lawyers to discuss the facts of their case is terrifying. They cannot imagine being forced to relive those events as they relate information to a Del Norte Juvenile Hall sexual molestation lawyer. Sadly, in some instances, the victims wait so long to consult with a lawyer who can sue Del Norte Juvenile Hall that the time limit to file a lawsuit has expired.
If you were sexually abused as a minor or suffered Del Norte Juvenile Hall assault, please know that the Statute of Limitations on these violations requires you to have your case filed with the court by the time you turn 40. If the case is not presented to the court by that time, the Statute of Limitations will expire, and you will have lost the right to seek compensation and justice for the harm you sustained in that facility as a minor.
Even if you are unsure about your desire to file a lawsuit, don’t hesitate to get in touch with a Del Norte Juvenile Hall sexual assault lawyer or sexual abuse lawyer at Kenmore Law Group today to discuss the Statute of Limitations for your case to ensure you understand how long you have to make this life-altering decision. Our team can be reached 24/7 to assist you.
Are There Any Exceptions To The Time Limit To File My Lawsuit?
In most cases, the Statute of Limitations is strictly enforced and offers no exceptions to the time limit it imposes. However, childhood sexual abuse and assault cases pose a unique circumstance in a small number of cases. Because the victims of these violations are often young and can be emotionally immature, a small number of victims can repress the memories of their sexual abuse or sexual assault. In these cases, the victim’s memories might only resurface after they are over 40 and cannot seek justice under the Statute of Limitations for these lawsuits.
To offer this limited number of victims the opportunity for closure and justice, the legal system provides a five-year discovery period for victims of childhood assault or those who were sexually abused but only discovered this information after turning 40. However, once the five-year period has expired, the right to sue Del Norte Juvenile Hall is lost. If you believe the five–year discovery period could apply to you and your Del Norte Juvenile Hall lawsuit, please get in touch with Kenmore Law Group immediately. Our staff will book a free consultation for you to meet with the Del Norte Juvenile Hall sexual molestation lawyer to evaluate the legal merit of your case and advise you if you have grounds for a lawsuit.
Defining Sexual Assault And Sexual Abuse
As minors who are victims of sexual abuse or assault, it is easy to know that you were violated and harmed. But it can be more difficult to describe the acts you endured. Often, that challenge is no more manageable when you are an adult seeking help from a Del Norte Juvenile Hall sexual abuse or assault lawyer. However, after gaining a better understanding of acts defined as sexual assault and abuse, you could be more comfortable having this difficult conversation with your Kenmore Law Group attorney.
The acts that are typically included in the category of sexual assault include:
- Sodomy
- Oral copulation
- Rape
- Any sexual penetration other than intercourse
- Being forced to participate in pornography
- Being made to take part in prostitution
These acts are also often accompanied by excessive brutality and violence that results in severe physical harm to the victim as well as the emotional harm of the sexual violations. The acts of sexual abuse are typically less violent and, in some cases, do not even include any physical contact between the victim and their abuser. However, the sexual violations still leave their emotional trauma and scars behind. These acts can include but are not limited to:
- Having someone make lewd or sexually explicate or demeaning comments to you
- An adult or minor who is exposing themselves in a sexual manner
- Being forced to watch your abuser or another victim masturbate
- Being made to masturbate while your abuser or others watch
- Any unwanted or forced kissing of a sexual nature
- Being groped or fondled by your abuser
- Having your abuser force you to grope or fondle their body
- Any unwanted or inappropriate touching of your body in a sexual manner
No one has a right or a reason to touch your body in a sexual manner. If they are doing so without your consent, they are sexually abusing you with acts that could be as simple as a female enduring someone groping her breasts or a person who is rubbing their body against you in a sexually arousing manner. If you suffered any of these acts or any others that felt sexually inappropriate, please get in touch with Kenmore Law Group today to speak to a Del Norte Juvenile Hall sexual assault lawyer or sexual abuse attorney to evaluate the legal merit of your case.

Valuable Information About Joining A Del Norte Juvenile Hall Sexual Abuse Class Action Lawsuit
Can you imagine a lawsuit that awards $50M to $100M in compensation? That amount sounds too good to be accurate and is certainly life-changing for any plaintiff. However, you must understand that when $50M or more is awarded for a Del Norte Juvenile Hall sexual abuse class action lawsuit, the money is not going to a single plaintiff.
A class action lawsuit represents many victims of similar harm or losses. These people are opting to join a class action case and seek justice in a group format instead of seeking justice with a single-victim lawsuit. In addition, the plaintiffs have agreed to share the compensation awarded for the case. In reality, you could be sharing $50M or $100M with dozens or more other victims of childhood sexual abuse. And because the case is built using all the facts of each victim, the time needed to complete a class action lawsuit is often from three to five years.

Our staff will book a free consultation with a skilled Del Norte Juvenile Hall class action lawsuit attorney to evaluate the legal merit of your case and explain any current class actions you might want to join.
