School should be a place of safety for every child in attendance. At Greenberg Gross, we know that no amount of compensation can atone for the abuse you suffered. When we help you fight for compensation, our goal is to ensure:

How California’s Statute of Limitations Affects Your Case
The state of California recently enacted a new law — AB 218 — that gives survivors of sexual abuse additional time to file a civil lawsuit against their assailant. If you are preparing to pursue compensation for yourself or a loved one:
- You generally have until you turn 40 years old to do so. The new law gives you a 22-year filing deadline that starts on the date of your 18th birthday, not the day the abuse occurred.
- You generally have a five-year window from the date the abuse or any resulting injuries or illnesses were or should have been discovered.
- You have a three-year extension if you previously attempted to file your lawsuit. This law applies if you could not do so due to an expired statute of limitations.
The statute of limitations is a critical part of your case. It is also a complex one that can be hard to understand on your own. Let us handle it for you. We ensure an accurate interpretation of the statutory filing deadline. We also ensure your case is filed within the allotted time.
