Our Recent Verdicts and Settlements

Understanding The Time Limit To File Your Rivers Edge Academy Lawsuit
The Statute of Limitations defines the length of time that a Rivers Edge Academy sexual abuse or sexual assault victim has to file their case against the facility. This time limit is imposed on all types of lawsuits and varies based on the content of the case. What is critical to know is that these time limits are strictly enforced. Once the Statute of Limitations has expired, you will typically lose your right to seek compensation from Rivers Edge Academy for the violations you suffered in the facility.

When considering childhood sexual abuse and assault cases, the time limit to file a lawsuit with the court system is by the victim’s 40th birthday. That equates to 22 years from the time the victim reaches the age of majority at 18 until they are 40 to contact a Rivers Edge Academy abuse attorney or assault lawyer to prepare and file their case. If the case is not in the hands of the court by the 40th birthday of the victim, the Statue of Limitations will have expired and there will no long be the option to sue Rivers Edge Academy. Please be sure to contact Normandie Law Firm immediately to discuss the facts of your case with a skilled Rivers Edge Academy sexual molestation lawyer to ensure you still have time to take legal action.

Are There Exceptions To The Statute Of Limitations?
In most cases, there are no exceptions to the Statute of Limitations. However, because childhood cases involving being sexually abused or sexually assaulted at Rivers Edge Academy can be unique in some ways, there is a single exception for the 40-year-old time limit. The exception is the five-year discovery period that is provided to victims who are over 40 but just discovered they were sexually abused or assaulted as minors at Rivers Edge Academy.

While these cases are not common, they can occur when the victim is very young or immature at the time of their abuse or assault. They are unable to process or understand the emotions of their trauma and this adult situation, so they hide the memories as a coping mechanism to make the pain stop. However, at some point later in life, the memories resurface and must be handled by the adult.

In these cases, when the adult who made the discovery is over 40, the court provides an additional five years to decide if they want to pursue legal action against Rivers Edge Academy. But once the five years have passed, the victim no longer has the right to seek justice or file a lawsuit against the facility for their negligence in providing proper protection to the minor who was violated. If you have recently made a discovery about sexual abuse, please contact the Rivers Edge Academy abuse lawyers or childhood sexual assault lawyers at Normandie Law Firm to discuss your case and the added five years to seek justice that could apply to you.

Understanding The Acts Of Sexual Abuse And Sexual Assault
There is often some confusion surrounding the acts of sexual abuse when victims reach out to our firm. While some acts of sexual abuse are clearly a violation of the victim’s body, other actions are more harmful to their mental health and emotional well-being. These acts typically do not even involve physical contact between the victim and the abuser. Some of the actions that are considered sexual abuse but are often overlooked by victims of childhood violations include:

• Having another person expose themselves to you
• Being the recipient of sexually explicate or lewd comments
• Being made to watch your abuser or someone else masturbate
• Being forced to masturbate while your abuser or others watch

Conversely, these acts are well-known to be sexually abusive due to the physical contact:

• Unwanted or inappropriate touching, groping, or fondling, especially in private areas, such as a female experiencing someone groping her breasts
• Being forced to grope, fondle, or touch your abuser or another victim
• Any forced kissing or being forced to participate in kissing of a sexual nature
• Inappropriate physical contact of your body that includes a sexual nature, such as a staff member or probation officer rubbing their body against yours

If you suffered any of these acts of sexual abuse or sexual assault while at Rivers Edge Academy, please reach out to Normandie Law Firm today. Our staff will help you better understand your rights as a victim and put you in contact with a lawyer who can sue Rivers Edge Academy if your claim is determined to have legal merit. But please do not wait to reach out to our staff, as your time to pursue legal action could be more limited than expected.

Have You Considered A Rivers Edge Academy Sexual Abuse Class Action Lawsuit?
Would you be shocked to learn that a Rivers Edge Academy sexual abuse class action lawsuit could be worth from $50M to $100M? Many victims of childhood abuse or assault would be happy to receive just a small fraction of that compensation to help pay for the care they need to overcome the trauma of their experiences. But when they hear that a single lawsuit could be worth that massive amount, they are sure there must be a mistake. But the amount is accurate. They simply need to understand the function of a class action lawsuit to understand that sizeable value.

A Rivers Edge Academy sexual abuse class action lawsuit represents many victims instead of only one like typical sex abuse lawsuits. The victims of sexual abuse have chosen to join the class action case to seek justice in a group instead of using a single-victim lawsuit. In addition, they are agreeing to share the settlement or compensation that is awarded for the class action. In short, each victim does not receive the full compensation or settlement amount.

The most considerable variable to the amount of compensation you could get from a Rivers Edge Academy class action case is the number of victims who join the case. The number could be as small as a dozen or reach the hundreds, making each victim’s compensation potentially much less than they might have gotten using a traditional lawsuit.

If you would like to understand more about the pros and cons of a Rivers Edge Academy sexual abuse class action lawsuit, please get in touch with Normandie Law Firm. Our staff will schedule a free consultation with a Rivers Edge Academy class action lawsuit attorney to evaluate your case and explain the current class action cases that might be appropriate for you to join. But please act now, as there are time limits to join class action cases, much like the ones to file a single-victim lawsuit.

How Much Could My Rivers Edge Academy Sexual Abuse Or Sexual Assault Lawsuit Be Worth?
The most ideal way to determine the potential value of your Rivers Edge Academy lawsuit is to contact Normandie Law Firm to request a free consultation with a childhood sexual molestation lawyer who will evaluate your case. They will review all of the losses and expenses you incurred because of the abuse or assault you suffered as a child in that facility to provide a more accurate estimated value of your case.

However, until you can meet with a lawyer, there are some average case values that will help you understand the potential of your Rivers Edge Academy lawsuit. An average sexual abuse lawsuit will range in value from $500,000 to $2,000,000. The average childhood sexual assault lawsuit will fall between $1,000,000 and $3,000,000. But keep in mind that these are average values and your case value will be based on your actual expenses and losses.

How Long Will It Take To Complete My Rivers Edge Academy Lawsuit?
Normandie Law Firm is proud of our reputation for completing our sexual abuse and sexual assault lawsuits much more rapidly than many other firms. We understand that our clients are seeking justice and closure from nearly a lifetime of trauma and hardships. So, our staff works tirelessly to move these cases through the court system as swiftly as possible.

Typically, a basic sexual abuse lawsuit will be resolved in only 6 to 8 months. If your abuse case is more complicated, expect it to be finished in less than 18 months. Sexual assault cases will range from one to two years based on the facts and details of the case. But the most lengthy cases to complete are certainly Rivers Edge Academy sexual abuse class action lawsuits.

It can take from three to five years to resolve a class action lawsuit because of the many members it represents. Each one brings many facts, details, and added information that must be presented to the court and then evaluated to resolve the group lawsuit. The time factor to complete class actions is why many victims decide that a class action is not the best option to meet their short-term needs.

Does Normandie Law Firm Charge Upfront Fees?
When searching for a law firm to handle your Rivers Edge Academy lawsuit, the reputation and quality of the legal service provided are always your first priority. However, many victims also fear that once they find a great law firm, they will not be able to pay the upfront legal fees required to begin the case.

At Normandie Law Firm, we believe in justice for all, not only the victims who can afford to pay upfront legal fees. We know that many victims are forced to give up on their hopes and dreams of securing the justice and compensation they deserve because they do not have the money to cover these costs. For that reason, we have a policy of never charging any upfront legal fees or expenses.

Instead, we only get paid for our services and the fees we paid on your behalf after the case is completed. This simple payment policy ensures that you will have the compensation or settlement funds needed to cover your legal costs with no added stress or hardships. And you owe us nothing if we fail to win your Rivers Edge Academy sexual abuse or assault lawsuit and deliver the compensation you deserve.
