April 2022: The MDL Paraquat class action judge will have a status conference on April 1st to review where the litigation is headed and how best to take the bellwether lawsuits forward for trial in November 2022. 44 new paraquat lawsuits have been added to the MDL in the last two weeks. At this pace, April 2022 will be the busiest month for new files yet. Last week, the parties filed their class-action bellwether picks with the Paraquat MDL judge. Those choices, however, have not been made public.
May 2022: In the last month, over 50 new cases have been added to the Paraquat Lawsuit Multidistrict Litigation (MDL). A group of six patients was recently selected by the Paraquat MDL court for the initial Paraquat Parkinson's disease bellwether trials. As a result, the first trial in November 2022 is approaching soon. The strategy is to select 16 paraquat claims from among the almost 1000 Parkinson's disease litigation claims filed. Following some limited fact discovery in these instances, paraquat attorneys on both sides submitted a preference list to the MDL court, ranking the 16 cases in order of priority. Attorneys for plaintiffs seek the finest facts for their clients, while defense attorneys want the worst. The judge whittled the list down to six Paraquat claims based on these rankings.

If you or someone you know has encountered instances of Sexual Abuse within a juvenile detention facility operated by the California Division of Juvenile Justice, please contact us now using the form provided above. Over the years, child institutions grappled with alarmingly frequent occurrences of sexual abuse and problematic staff interactions with inmates or children under state custody.
California's juvenile detention facilities have long faced accusations of failing to protect young inmates from sexual abuse. With new legislation extending the statute of limitations for civil sexual abuse lawsuits, more survivors are coming forward seeking justice. If you were sexually abused while incarcerated in California's juvenile detention system, and under the age of 40 when it occurred, you may be eligible to pursue legal action for damages. We specialize in litigating sexual abuse claims against powerful institutions, municipalities, and both public and private prison systems. If you have questions about a lawsuit regarding sexual abuse in any youth detention facility in California, we're here to assist you. Note that some facilities house inmates over 18, and if you were abused while 18 or older, there are specific statute of limitations requirements.
Any incidents involving sexual abuse or inappropriate sexual contact during your period in California custody deserve careful attention. We are here to offer a listening ear and assistance, even in cases where support may have been lacking in the past. Connect with us without delay for a Free Claim Review.
for California's juvenile detention facilities
Sexual abuse lawsuits, subject to the statute of limitations, often hinder victims' ability to seek justice and compensation. In response to this, California enacted the Child Victims Act in 2019, extending the statute of limitations for child sexual abuse claims. Under this act, survivors of sexual abuse as minors can file claims until age 40, or within 5 years of discovering psychological injuries if over 40. Additionally, survivors abused as adults in youth detention centers may have options under the California Sexual Abuse and Cover-Up Accountability Act. This act provides temporary filing windows for adult survivors, with different requirements and deadlines. Navigating these complexities requires experienced legal guidance. We have assisted many survivors in pursuing claims under current laws and ongoing legislative developments, and we offer consultations to assess eligibility for legal action.
Our organization stands with survivors and supports their efforts to hold the California Division of Juvenile Justice and other responsible entities accountable for their negligence in preventing abuse by counselors, supervisors, or other staff members.
