Sexual abuse survivors in North Carolina have civil legal options that many do not realize exist. A civil lawsuit is completely separate from the criminal justice system — no criminal conviction or investigation is required to pursue civil compensation. Institutions across Raleigh and Wake County have not been immune to documented abuse, and civil cases allow survivors to hold both individuals and the institutions that failed to protect them accountable. TopDog fights to get every dollar you deserve.
Raleigh's institutions — schools, churches, youth organizations, healthcare facilities, and employers across Wake County — have not been immune to documented abuse. We know how these institutions protect themselves and how to hold them accountable. Those failures cause real damage to survivors and their families and we fight to get them what they deserve.
Institutions and their insurers across Wake County may use delay tactics and North Carolina's contributory negligence framework to minimize and silence survivors. We know how to leverage the justice system in Wake County Superior Court to fight back — for both justice and the financial recovery that helps survivors rebuild their lives.
IMPORTANT NORTH CAROLINA LEGAL INFORMATION — SEXUAL ABUSE
Adult Survivors: Under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-52(19), civil claims for sexual abuse are subject to a 3-year statute of limitations.
Child Survivors: Under North Carolina's SAFE Child Act, survivors of childhood sexual abuse have until their 28th birthday to file a civil lawsuit against their abuser and any enabling institution.
Institutional Liability: Institutions that knew or should have known about abuse and failed to prevent it can be held liable in civil court.
This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.
Institutions and their insurers may use delay tactics and attempt to leverage North Carolina's contributory negligence rules to minimize and silence survivors. What was done to you has real financial value — therapy costs, lost wages, emotional distress, and in institutional cases, punitive damages. TopDog Law and its co-counsel fight for the full recovery.
