Understanding The Camp Erwin Owen Lawsuit Statute Of Limitations
The Statute of Limitations for any lawsuit is the time limit imposed on the victim to file their case with the court. It is essential to understand that the Statute of Limitation is the same for a Camp Erwin Owen abuse lawsuit and a Camp Erwin Owen assault lawsuit. Victims have until they reach the age of 40 to work with a lawyer who can sue Camp Erwin Owen and file their case with the court.
As you might already know, only an adult can take legal action. So you have 22 years from age 18 until your 40th birthday to sue Camp Erwin Owen. It is also vital to understand that the Statute of Limitations is usually strictly enforced. If you wait until after you are 40, the case will be dismissed because the Statute of Limitations has expired. So be sure to get in touch with Normandie Law Firm immediately to request a free consultation with a Camp Erwin Owen sexual molestation lawyer to evaluate the facts of your case and the time you have left to seek compensation.
Is There Any Way To Sue Camp Erwin Owen For Being Sexually Abused Or Assaulted After Turning 40?
Because your case deals with sexual abuse or assault that occurred when you were a child, there is a unique exception to the Statute of Limitations for your case. The exemption is the five-year discovery period, and it only applies in specific instances in which the victim repressed the memories of their Camp Erwin Owen sexual assault or abuse.
Because many children are not fully mature and able to handle the trauma and pain of sexual abuse or sexual assault, many decide that the only way to escape the pain and anger is to forget the event that occurred. They push the thoughts and trauma into their subconscious and hide from it. But this is only a temporary solution. At some point, the repressed memories surface, and the pain and trauma must be dealt with by the hopefully better-prepared adult.
This rediscovery often happens when the victim is working with a therapist or counselor to resolve anger issues, lack of trust, or other emotional challenges. But in many cases, the victim has already reached the age of 40. So, without the five-year discovery time, they would not be able to seek compensation from Camp Erwin Owen for their sexual abuse or sexual assault. It is also crucial to know that the five-year period applies at any age and always allots an added five years from the date of discovery, regardless of the victim’s age.
Why Is A Camp Erwin Owen Sexual Abuse Class Action Lawsuit Worth $50,000,000 To $100,000,000?
You might think a case value of over $50,000,000 will surely be a mistake. However, if the case is a Camp Erwin Owen sexual abuse class action lawsuit, the amount could be very accurate. That is because a class action lawsuit represents many victims who suffered a similar loss or harm. They have decided to join a class action case to seek compensation as a group rather than using a single-victim lawsuit to seek compensation only for themselves.
The fact that a class action lawsuit can represent 100 or more victims is the reason for the astronomical compensation amounts that can reach over $50M. When the case is completed and the compensation awarded, it is divided among the victims. In most instances, each victim will receive an amount that is relatively comparable to the settlement of a single-victim lawsuit. But there is not likely to ever be a single person awarded $50M in compensation for a Camp Erwin Owen lawsuit.
If you have questions about class action cases, please contact Normandie Law Firm and request a free consultation with a skilled and experienced Camp Erwin Owen class action lawsuit attorney. They will answer any questions about how a class action works or the current Camp Erwin Owen sex abuse class action cases you might consider joining.
