Possible Incidents at Job Corps Locations

There are many different incidents that can occur on the premises of Job Corps. Some examples of the incidents that could occur on the premises of Job Corps could include the following:

• Assault and battery
• Sexual abuse
• Slip and falls
• Trip and falls
• Falling objects incidents
• And more

Who is Liable for Incidents at Job Corps?

This is a very important question. Ultimately, liability for any incidents that occur on their premises is based on the negligence of the property owner. This is because property owners have a duty to ensure that their premises are free of hazards or dangerous conditions that could lead to incidents that could injure unsuspecting victims.

These incidents, including slip and fall accidents, trip and fall accidents, falling object incidents, and more, can occur at the direct result of the property owners’ negligence (as well as the negligence of their management/employees). That is, property owners, their managers, and other employees have the duty to identify and address hazards like wet floors, leaks, slippery surfaces, uneven surfaces, torn carpeting, exposed wires, improperly placed shelves, and more. When property owners fail to identify and address these hazards, they can be liable and can be sued.

However, some liability for incidents like assault and battery and sexual abuse, for example, are not as straightforward. These incidents generally occur because of the intentional malicious actions of the attacker. Even then, property owners could still face liability because there are many hazards that could contribute to these attacks; these hazards could include poorly lit areas, lack of surveillance, isolated areas, lack of security, negligent hiring, negligent supervising, and more.

If you or a loved one suffered harm at a Job Corps incident and you have questions about liability and the right to sue, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team as soon as possible. Our Job Corps incident attorneys are ready to provide you with the guidance that you need.

What Categories of Compensation Available for Recovery?

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages

• Punitive damages
• Legal expenses

In cases of wrongful death, claimants could be entitled to receive wrongful death benefits; these include funeral and burial costs, loss of financial support, loss of consortium, and more.

The specific type of compensation and the value of your claim will be based on the details surrounding the claim, including the type of incident that happened, the injuries that occurred as a result, and more.

Here at the Normandie Law Firm, our team is fully committed to providing you with the guidance that you need to fight for your right to recover the maximum payout available for your claim. Whether our lawyers have to negotiate a settlement or take your claim to trial to reach a verdict, you can trust that our team will do everything necessary to secure a fair payout.

How Long Do I Have to Sue for a Job Corps Incident?

All claims are subject to a statute of limitations, or a deadline to sue. If claimants do not file their claims on time, then they can lose their right to sue. Because of this, it is important that you understand exactly how long you have to file your claim.

In California, personal injury claims, which include claims for slip and falls, trip and falls, assault and battery, etc., are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. In other words, claimants will only have two years to file their lawsuits. However, it is important to note that claims involving government entities, like the U.S. Department of Labor, are subject to a strict six month deadline; once claimants file their initial claim within this time, they can either have an additional six months or two years to file lawsuits.

We must also highlight that sexual assault cases are normally subject to an extended statute of limitations. Victims that suffered sexual abuse when they were minors will have until the age of forty to file a lawsuit while victims that were abused when they were already adults will have ten years to file their lawsuits. Both of these deadlines have a discovery-rule, so victims may have more time to sue. Again, claims involving government entities may be subject to stricter deadlines.
