Our California sexual abuse lawyers understand the extraordinary pain that victims of sexual abuse endure. Sexual abuse can be one of the most traumatic experiences of a person’s lifetime, resulting in painful emotional scarring.
In California, adult survivors of sexual abuse are permitted to file suit anytime before their 26th birthday or within three years of the time they discover that their psychological injuries were caused by the abuse. Parents of sexually abused children are allowed to bring claims on their children’s behalf.
Sexual abuse cases are difficult for all involved, as the abuser is generally someone whom the victim trusted (a teacher, babysitter, priest, doctor, family member, care giver, etc.). Under certain circumstances, the abuser’s employer may also be liable to the victim as well.
