The New York Child Victims Act allows victims of child sex abuse to file a civil suit any time before their 55th birthday. Previously these claims expired on the victim’s 23rd birthday.
The Act also creates a limited one-year window during which adult survivors whose claims would otherwise be time barred can file a civil suit. The one-year revival period is open now, running from August 14, 2019 through August 14, 2020.
During the revival period, claims are revived regardless of how long ago the abuse occurred.
If you are a victim of child sex abuse, now is the time to contact legal counsel. The experienced attorneys at The Coppola Firm can offer you the guidance and discretion you need to protect your rights.
