Understanding the Statute of Limitations for Sexual Abuse Cases
According to attorneys at File Abuse Lawsuit, the statute of limitations can vary from one state to another. In many jurisdictions, the deadline for filing a lawsuit for sexual abuse cases has been extended. New legislation is now acknowledging that sexual abuse actually has long-lasting trauma for survivors.
Some states now allow survivors to file claims years or decades after the abuse occurred. However, in some areas, victims only have a limited time after turning 18. For example, in Michigan, child sexual abuse victims have until their 28th birthday. The statute of limitations for adults, on the other hand, is 10 years after the assault happened.
