Sexual abuse survivors in California have civil legal options that many do not realize exist. A civil lawsuit is completely separate from the criminal justice system — no criminal conviction is required to pursue civil compensation. California eliminated the statute of limitations for civil claims involving childhood sexual abuse effective January 1, 2024 — survivors of abuse that occurred before their 18th birthday now have no deadline to file. Institutions across Sacramento and Sacramento County — including state government agencies, schools, and churches — have not been immune to documented abuse. TopDog fights to get every dollar you deserve.
Sacramento's institutions — schools, churches, state government agencies, youth organizations, healthcare facilities, and employers across Sacramento 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 we fight to get them what they deserve.
Institutions and their insurers across Sacramento County may use delay tactics to minimize and silence survivors. California's elimination of the childhood sexual abuse SOL creates new opportunities for justice. We know how to leverage the justice system in Sacramento County Superior Court to fight back — for both justice and the financial recovery that helps survivors rebuild their lives. We fight for the compensation and accountability you may be owed.
IMPORTANT CALIFORNIA LEGAL INFORMATION — SEXUAL ABUSE
Childhood Abuse: California extended the statute of limitations for childhood sexual abuse. Survivors of childhood abuse generally have until age 40 or 5 years from discovery to file civil claims.
Adult Survivors: Two temporary "lookback" windows are active in 2026 for adult survivors to file claims that would otherwise be time-barred.
Institutional Liability: Institutions that knew or should have known about abuse and failed to prevent it can be held liable.
Comparative Fault: Pure comparative fault applies.
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 to minimize and silence survivors. California eliminated the SOL for childhood sexual abuse effective January 1, 2024. Government agency claims require 6-month administrative notice. TopDog Law and its co-counsel fight for the full recovery.
