At Plata Schott Law, we are dedicated to advocating for the rights and well-being of children who have suffered due to negligence and abuse. One such case involved a young boy who endured unimaginable trauma due to the negligence of a facility responsible for his care.

This case arose when a facility, tasked with the supervision and safety of children, failed to protect a young boy in their care. The facility negligently locked the child out, leaving him vulnerable and alone. Tragically, during this period, he was abducted and sexually assaulted by a known sex offender. The incident highlighted the severe consequences of negligence and the importance of vigilant oversight, particularly for vulnerable children.

Understanding the gravity of the situation and the lifelong impact this trauma could have on the child, we took swift action. Our team at Plata Schott Law is experienced in handling sensitive cases involving children, and we were determined to seek justice for the young boy and his family. We recognized that the negligence of the facility was a critical factor that contributed to the tragic events, and we were committed to holding them accountable.

In building the case, we meticulously gathered evidence, including documentation of the facility's negligence and the circumstances leading to the child's abduction. Our approach involved collaborating with experts in child psychology and safety standards to demonstrate the facility's failure to provide a secure environment. We aimed to show that the facility had breached its duty of care by failing to prevent foreseeable harm to the child.

Throughout the legal process, our team provided compassionate support to the child and his family, ensuring they felt heard and understood. We kept them informed of every development in the case, prioritizing their well-being and empowerment as they navigated the complexities of the legal system.

Our persistent efforts culminated in a significant resolution. We successfully recovered $600,000 for the child and his family, providing them with the means to access necessary support and services to aid in the child's recovery. This settlement was not just a financial achievement but also a crucial step towards justice and healing for the young boy.

The outcome of this case underscores our commitment to protecting the rights of children and ensuring that those responsible for their safety are held accountable. At Plata Schott Law, we are proud to stand up for victims of negligence and abuse, using our expertise and compassion to make a difference in the lives of children and their families.

This case serves as a reminder of the critical importance of vigilant care and supervision for children. It also highlights the power of effective legal representation in bringing about meaningful change and securing justice for those who have been wronged.
