Sexual abuse lawsuit lawyers

The United States Department of Justice defines sexual assault (abuse) as “any nonconsensual sexual act proscribed by Federal, tribal, or State law, including when the victim lacks capacity to consent.”

According to RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network), the county’s largest anti-sexual violence organization, an American is sexually assaulted every 68 seconds, and every 9 minutes, that sexual assault victim is a child. Tragically, only 25 out of 1,000 sex abuse perpetrators will be sentenced to prison. That is why many sexual abuse victims, who want legal justice, turn to Parker Waichman LLP.

Is There a Time Deadline to File a Sexual Abuse Lawsuit?

Help for sexual abuse victims

 

Yes. All 50 states have laws limiting the time a victim of sexual abuse has to file a civil lawsuit. These time periods are called “statutes of limitations,” and this deadline varies from state to state. However, sexual abuse victims have recently put enough pressure on state legislatures that almost all states have reformed their statutes of limitation in civil sexual abuse cases. Forty-eight states and the District of Columbia amended their civil statutes of limitations in sexual abuse cases. Many states also modified or eliminated the statute of limitations in criminal sex abuse cases. To ensure that you or a loved one is qualified to file a civil lawsuit, do not delay and call 1-800-YOUR-LAWYER (1-800-968-7529) to receive a free, confidential consultation and discuss your potential case.

My name is Shantasia and I was recommended to PWL back in may of 2020 an let me tell you this, my experience with PWL was great! Not only did they take good care of my daughter and I but they didn’t give up until we gotten what we deserved. I’d settled a year later and it was definitely worth it. Had also recommended two people to work with them on their cases during the time of my case and I hope everything works out in their favors. In my time working with them I’d spoke with a couple of people there but Josephine was my favorite she really did her thing for us and made us a priority and I really loved that! If you’re looking to get justice for any accidents I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you call Parker Waichman Law. Promise you won’t be disappointed! :)
