Damages you\u2019re eligible to pursue legal action for include pain and suffering, payment of medical bills related to physical or mental health, legal costs, and punitive damages.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the cases thus far against the county have resulted in multi-million dollar settlements. LA County CEO Fesia Davenport was quoted in April 2023 stating, \u201cmore than 3,000 claims alleging childhood sexual assault at various County and non-County facilities\u201d could result in anywhere from $1.6 to $3 billion in payouts to abuse victims.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8bb0e99 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8bb0e99\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">5. How Can Lawsuit Loans Provide Financial Relief For Victims As They Await Compensation?<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f89af4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4f89af4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>Many victims of the MacLaren Hall cases cannot afford to wait for settlement money due to the emotional hardships they endure as a result of their abuse. Many survivors suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety, which can obstruct their ability to maintain stable work and housing.<\/p>\n<p>This is where lawsuit loans, or pre-settlement advances, come into play. These advances allow victims to access a portion of their settlement money before the official conclusion of the case. Lawsuit loans are non-recourse advances, which means that plaintiffs are not required to pay off the loan if they do not receive a settlement, making this a no-risk proposition.<\/p>\n<p>There is also no personal credit check associated with these loans. They are based purely on the merit of the case. Funds are typically distributed within 24 to 72 hours after the examination of legal documentation. There is no restriction on how the money can be used. Victims can use the funds for anything from medical bills to therapy.<\/p>\n<p>Plaintiffs can apply for a lawsuit loan by contacting a legal funding company and providing documentation from their attorney. This documentation should include the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Notice of the Filing of Claim and Partial Stay<\/li>\n<li>Completed Claim Packet<\/li>\n<li>Claim Worksheet<\/li>\n<li>The notice client received advising the client of the right to file the claim.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once your application is approved, a contract can be negotiated between your attorney and the funding company, and you will be placed in line for funding. Most victims receive compensation within a few days.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1475bad no-table-index elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"1475bad\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n<div class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2141\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\">Need a Lawyer?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2141\">\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Ready to hire a sex abuse lawyer?\u00a0Contact our confidential hotline for victims of sex abuse at\u00a0<a href=\"tel:16268888949\">(626)888-8949<\/a>.
