Santa Monica recently settled the final batch of sexual abuse claims against the Police Activities Leage (PALs). The claim consisted of sexual abuse allegations made against Eric Uller. Uller was accused of abusing multiple young boys between the late 1980s and the early 2000s during his time as a City employee and a volunteer with PALs (a city-run nonprofit organization). Uller committed suicide before his criminal trial in 2018. This final settlement raises the total settlement value to $229.8 million. The city has been paying out these claims a few hundred at a time.
According to the City Manager, David White, the settlement represents the city’s acknowledgment of the victims’ pain and suffering and their dedication to continue to protect youth to prevent further sexual abuse incidents. In addition, the city has created a committee to enforce measures to prevent child abuse in City programs. This is just one of the many changes that the city has made in an attempt to prevent child abuse at the hands of City employees; other changes include updating the code of conduct, updating screening measures, and expanded mandated reporter training for employees, for example.
As the city continues to pay out these sexual abuse claims, victims and their families continue to get closure.

Can I Get a Loan On the Case?
Yes, you could potentially get a loan on the case. How can I get a loan on my case? In general, lawsuit loans are only available through legal funding companies. However, you can get a lawsuit loan from a legal funding company or directly from the lawyer handling your case.
How do lawsuit loans work? How can I get a lawsuit loan on my case? Your case must be thoroughly evaluated by the legal team to determine the possible value of your case. The total loan amount that you are approved for will be based on the total projected value of your case. When you get a lawsuit loan here through the Normandie Law Firm, your lawsuit loan is risk-free; that is, you will only have to repay your loan when your lawsuit reaches a settlement. When we grant lawsuit loans, we assume all the risk. Because of that, we thoroughly evaluate each and every case before making a final decision.
If you are interested in getting a loan on your case, whether it’s a sexual abuse case or any other type of case, we urge you to seek legal assistance as soon as possible and express your interest in getting a lawsuit loan.
Will I Be Charged Interest?
Yes, these loans have interest. In general, these loans have low interest rates, between 2% to 5% although this can vary. What does this mean? You will need to repay the lawsuit loan once your case settles, plus interest. Every lawsuit loan is different; therefore, it is important that you evaluate the terms of the loan thoroughly before agreeing to a loan. This will ensure that there are no surprises when it comes to paying back the lawsuit loan.
How Do I Pay Back My Lawsuit Loan?
If you get a lawsuit loan, you get an advance on your settlement. This means that when your case does settle, you will not have access to the funds from the settlement. The settlement will be used to cover the costs of the case (like processing fees, court fees, and more). The remaining settlement will then be used to cover the repayment of the lawsuit loan (remember, this will be an automatic payment). You will then receive any remaining funds.
What if my lawsuit is unsuccessful? Because of the way that lawsuit loans work, getting a lawsuit loan is risk-free to clients. The lender assumes all risk by approving loans, so if a lawsuit is unsuccessful, you will not have to pay anything at all.
