Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Do I Have to File a Sexual Abuse Claim in New York?
−New York’s Child Victims Act gives recent abuse survivors until age 55 to file a civil claim for childhood sexual abuse. Adult survivors have different deadlines depending on the circumstances. Because of this, it’s important to talk to an attorney as soon as possible. Missing the filing window could prevent your case from moving forward.
