Attorney Samuel Dordulian Obtains $2,000,000 Settlement for Decades-Old Crimes Under California AB 218 Law

Dordulian Law Group (DLG) is pleased to announce a $2 million settlement on behalf of an adult survivor client who endured sexual abuse as a child. Under California's AB 218 'lookback window' clause, DLG's sexual abuse attorneys were able to secure justice for our client despite the crimes having occurred decades ago.

Although the terms of the settlement require that the plaintiff and defendant remain anonymous and the details related to the abuse be kept confidential, lead attorney Samuel Dordulian expressed his satisfaction with the $2 million figure.

"Every sexual abuse case involving a child is difficult, but we feel the settlement is an indication that justice has been served on behalf of our client," Dordulian said. "Had AB 218 not opened up claims for crimes occurring outside the statute of limitations, this never would have been possible. It's another example of how important this type of state legislation – offering a revival window – is for survivors of childhood sexual abuse who otherwise would be left without any recourse against perpetrators."

ABOUT AB 218: The law temporarily pauses the statute of limitations on child sex abuse claims through December 31, 2022. All survivors are currently eligible to file civil claims for financial compensation. Additionally, the bill includes a treble damages clause, allowing the courts the latitude to triple settlements or verdicts in cases where a cover-up is proven.

Dordulian and his team have successfully secured multiple settlements on behalf of survivors under AB 218, with over a dozen outstanding claims still in litigation.
