Were You Sexually Abused or Sexually Assaulted?
You could be unaware that there are very different legal definitions of sexual abuse and sexual assault. However, victims must understand the differences to better understand the time necessary to settle their lawsuit against William James Ranch.
Sexual assault is considered the more severe infraction or violation against a victim as compared to sexual abuse. Sexual assault includes an added level of violence that often results in significant physical injuries, including broken bones, damage to soft tissue, and even injuries to reproductive organs. Assault victims can also be faced with added challenges due to an unwanted pregnancy or sexually transmitted disease as a result of these acts all categorized as sexual assault:
- Rape
- Sodomy
- Oral copulation
- Any sexual penetration other than intercourse
- Forcing a minor to be involved in prostitution or pornography
Acts that are considered sexual abuse include but are not limited to:
- Making lewd or sexually explicate comments to a minor
- Any unwanted touching of the victim, most specifically in the groin area, buttocks, genitals, or breast
- Forcing the victim to fondle or grope their abuser or sexually touch them in private areas
- Forcing a minor to masturbate while their abuser watches
- Making a minor watch as their abuser masturbates
It is also vital to understand that these violations are considered more severe when inflicted on a minor. Minors are not legally old enough to provide consent, so the court views all of these acts as forced sex against a minor. The result is that adult victims of sexual abuse as a child will likely receive a more significant settlement than an adult sexual abuse victim who suffered similar acts.
Determining if you suffered sexual abuse or sexual assault is vital in understanding how long you will wait to receive your settlement. Again, the added level of violence and potential for life-altering injuries means it will take longer for a William James Ranch sexual assault case to settle.
How Many Years Does It Take To Settle a William James Ranch Abuse Lawsuit?
Victims of sexual abuse are typically very eager to face their abuser and the staff from William James Ranch to hold them accountable for the damage they caused. They are also very focused on moving past this stage to continue their healing and recovery. So, it can be confusing when they contact various legal teams only to learn they are getting different answers to the same question. They ask how many years does it take to settle a William James Ranch abuse lawsuit, and the answers range from 6 to 8 months to over two years.
The team at Normandie Law Firm would like to provide more information regarding the time needed for these cases and why the answers can vary from one law firm to another. First, it is essential to understand that most answers are genuine and accurate. The reason for the variation is the skill and experience level of each legal team handling the sexual abuse lawsuit.
At Normandie Law Firm, our staff has decades of combined experience, allowing us to swiftly complete cases. We know it takes 6 to 8 months to settle a William James Ranch abuse lawsuit if the case is not overly complicated. We also know it will take one or two years to settle a William James Ranch sex abuse lawsuit that is complex or includes multiple victims. But this is substantially faster than the average law firm’s estimate of one year to settle a basic William James Ranch sex abuse lawsuit and closer to two years to settle a complex one.
