  • Illinois and Nevada allow civil sex abuse lawsuits without criminal charges, with settlements ranging from $300,000 to over $1.5 million.
  • Recent changes to California law have made it easier for sexual abuse victims to file civil lawsuits, leading to substantial settlements.

California: Recent Changes to the Law Empower Abuse Survivors of Juvenile Detention Center Abuse to File Civil Lawsuits

In California, survivors of sexual abuse can file civil lawsuits against both abusers and responsible institutions, with recent laws extending the time to take legal action. Victims may recover damages for emotional harm, medical costs, and more. It's important to gather any available evidence and work with an experienced attorney to navigate the process.

Illinois: Expanding Justice for Survivors of Youth Retention Center Abuse

Illinois has seen a growing wave of sexual abuse lawsuits, especially targeting youth retention centers. The state has eliminated the civil statute of limitations for child sexual abuse, allowing survivors to come forward regardless of how much time has passed. Victims are increasingly holding both individuals and institutions accountable, often resulting in settlements reaching into the millions. The legal environment in Illinois now prioritizes survivor access to justice and transparency in institutional misconduct.

Nevada: Holding the Catholic Church Accountable

In Nevada, survivors of Catholic Church abuse are filing civil lawsuits under laws that extend the time for victims to seek justice. These cases often target not just individual abusers but also the Church for enabling or covering up the abuse. Victims may pursue individual claims more efficiently and may receive compensation for emotional trauma, medical expenses, and other damages.
