File a Claim
Were you detained in a Los Angeles County Juvenile Hall or Camp and born on or after February 15, 2002?
There is a $30 million settlement of a lawsuit.
You may be entitled to thousands of dollars.
To be part of this settlement, you should:
Read this Website. Respond by November 28, 2025.
Important things to know:
Class members may receive over $7,000 on average. Payments are based on how many days were spent in a Hall or Camp, with Hall days valued higher due to worse conditions. This does not mean that each person will receive $7,000, but that the average payment could be $7,000 or more, which means some could receive more and some less.
If you take no action, you will still be bound by the settlement, your rights will be affected, and you will not receive any money from the settlement. It is in your best interest to respond if you qualify.
