Free Claim Review
California's new statute of limitations for child sexual abuse is giving survivors more time to file in LA County, Orange County, San Bernardino County, San Diego County and Riverside County. If you’ve been the victim of sexual assault or misconduct as a child and were previously barred from filing a claim due to the California statute of limitations, you may now be able to pursue action. As of January 2020, childhood sexual abuse survivors may file a claim no matter what their age is now or how long ago the abuse occurred. In addition, the courts are empowered to triple the damage awards when sexual abuse happened alongside an attempted or successful cover-up.
