Shock, denial, and disbelief are common reactions to learning that a child has been sexually abused. It's hard to imagine that anyone could harm a defenseless child in such a heinous way. Unfortunately, child sexual abuse is all too common, with an estimated 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys being sexually abused before the age of 18. And those are just the cases that are reported—the actual number is likely much higher. While a civil lawsuit won't change what happened, it can allow survivors to seek justice against their abusers. If you have questions about a possible lawsuit or the laws surrounding childhood sexual abuse, contact The Law Office of Michael Rehm today at (800) 978-0754 to schedule your free consultation.
How The California Child Victims Act Helped the Student Seek Justice
Many survivors are now able to bring a case against their abuser under The California Child Victims Act - a law that provides some healing, accountability, and financial stability to help continue the difficult path. The Act permits lawsuits against people who sexually abused individuals when they were children, even if the statute of limitations has expired. The California Child Victims Act is an important step forward in protecting the rights of child sexual abuse survivors. By extending the statute of limitations to age 40 and opening a three-year window for filing claims for those above the age of 40, The Act provides survivors more time to come forward and hold their abusers accountable.
How A Childhood Sexual Abuse Lawyer Can Help
Many survivors of childhood sexual abuse choose to hire a lawyer to help them seek justice. There are a number of reasons why this may be the best option for survivors. First, lawyers can help to gather evidence and ensure that all relevant information is considered. They can also help to identify possible witnesses and build a strong case. In addition, lawyers can provide support and guidance throughout the legal process, which can be very stressful for survivors. Finally, hiring a lawyer can send a strong message to the abuser that the survivor is serious about seeking justice. This can be an empowering experience for survivors and can help them to move on from the abuse.
