Statute of Limitations in a sexual abuse case is the deadline by which a case has to be filed by, and the statute of limitations is different, in different states.
In some states now it’s actually been revoked, in some states it depends on when the victim connected their abuse to their injuries. In some states it’s a very hard fast deadline, but it’s important to find out whether or not if your case is older, whether or not you can still file your case. Because even though there might be a statute of limitations, there may still be ways for us to help you and get justice.
