A significant recent outcome has occurred in the legal landscape pertaining to cases under the Child Victims Act (CVA). Notably, plaintiffs counsel Kristen Gibbons Feden and Mike Della have secured a series of victories totaling $157 million in damages, built upon six first-of-their-kind CVA verdicts within one week. The legal duo represented over 100 survivors who filed suit against ex-doctor Stuart Copperman.
Feden and Della’s exemplary legal manoeuvring and steadfast dedication to their clients’ cause led to this sizable payout. The verdicts underscore the far-reaching implications of the CVA as an effective recourse for survivors of abuse.
The importance of this result cannot be overstated, as it revolves around a notable case featuring a high number of victims and a single defendant. The impact made by Copperman, a former healthcare professional, was felt by many. His victims rallied to take collective action, leading to a substantial judgment made possible through the legal provisions of the CVA.
This case is particularly significant considering the CVA has been closed recently. This recent batch of judgements is among the last to come from lawsuits filed under the respective act. Legal professionals should remain aware of these developments and the implications they may have on future cases, even beyond the lifespan of the CVA.
