How Our Maryland Juvenile Detention Sexual Abuse Attorneys Can Help

Maryland’s juvenile detention centers have been under scrutiny for failing to protect young inmates from sexual abuse. Recent legislative changes in Maryland have extended the statute of limitations, allowing more survivors to seek justice. Even if this happened to people when they were teenagers and they are now adults, we can help. Our attorneys specialize in these cases, offering free, confidential consultations 24/7 for survivors and their families across Maryland.

Sexual Abuse History in Maryland Youth Detention Centers

FAQs

Q: How Long Do I Have to File a Juvenile Detention Center Sexual Abuse Lawsuit in Maryland?

A: Thanks to Maryland’s Child Victims Act:
  • Survivors can file claims until they are 40 years old.
  • If psychological injuries were recently discovered, survivors over 40 might still have time to file.

 

Q: Do You Know If You Have a Case?

A: It’s best to speak to an attorney. But here are two questions:

  • Were you (or your child) sexually abused by a staff member at a Maryland juvenile detention facility?
  • Did the abuse occur in any juvenile detention center in Maryland?
If you answered yes, you likely have a case. Our attorneys are here to support survivors in civil actions against the operators of these facilities for negligence.
Q: How much is my case worth?

A: Every case is different, and the value of a case is dependent on many factors, including how extensive the abuse or assaults were, how long they went on for, as well as many other things. The beset thing to do is speak to one of our experienced Juvenile hall sex abuse lawyers today. As mentioned above, we work on a contingency basis, meaning there’s no cost unless we win for you. Of course, any conversation you have with us will be kept completely confidential.
