How long do I have to file a California massage sexual assault lawsuit?

Each state has a deadline for bringing sexual assault cases, known as a “statute of limitations.” In California, where The Pride Law Firm is located, those deadlines have been expanded to allow most adult victims of sexual abuse up to 10 years to file a personal injury lawsuit. Those limitations have also been recently expanded for child survivors of sexual abuse and assault.

The reasons for these deadlines are to ensure cases are brought while evidence and witness memories are still fresh. While you still deserve your opportunity to seek justice, no matter how much time has passed, the sooner a claim is filed, the stronger your case will likely be. Additionally, the sooner your case is resolved, the sooner you may be able to find closure and stop a dangerous predator from harming others.
