How Long Do I Have to File a Sexual Assault Lawsuit in National City?

The deadline depends on your age at the time and when the abuse occurred. If you were a child and the abuse happened on or after January 1, 2024, there’s no time limit to file. For abuse before that date, you may have until age 40 or five years from when you realized it caused harm. Adults typically have up to 10 years, or three years from when they became aware of the lasting effects. We can help you understand what timeline applies to your case.
