What Is The Statute Of Limitations To Sue Camp William Mendenhall For Sexual Abuse?

First, all victims need to understand that the Statute of Limitations defines how long you have to file a claim with the court. Second, all lawsuits are governed by the Statute of Limitations, even though the time provided to the victim varies based on the legal material involved in the case. Third, there are rarely any exceptions to the time limit defined by the Statute of Limitations. It is the victim’s responsibility to research and learn more about the time limit for their case or seek the guidance of an expert legal team to explain this and other parameters for filing a lawsuit.

As a victim of sexual abuse as a minor, you have 22 years from the day you turn 18 to file your lawsuit with the court. The time to take action expires on your 40th birthday. If the case is not filed within those 22 years, you will typically lose the right to file a claim with the court and seek justice and compensation for the harm and losses resulting from sexual abuse at Camp William Mendenhall.

How Can I Sue Camp William Mendenhall If The Statute Of Limitations Has Already Expired?

In most lawsuits, there are no exceptions to the Statute of Limitations because the time limit was carefully evaluated and determined to be fair to all parties involved. However, in a small number of sexual abuse lawsuits involving minors, there is a unique situation that can prevent the victim from having the opportunity to seek justice via a lawsuit. In these uncommon cases, the victim of childhood sexual abuse does not discover they were sexually abused until after they have reached the age of 40. Under the Statute of Limitations time limit, they would never be permitted to sue for the harm and losses they suffered.

The legal system is very dedicated to ensuring justice for all victims. To allow adults who were over 40 when they learned of their sexual abuse as minors to seek justice and compensation, a five-year discovery period was created. It begins on the date the adult discovers their sexual abuse and expires precisely in five years. However, it allows the victim time to seek legal counsel, decide if they wish to pursue legal action and file a claim with the court.

In most instances when the five-year discovery period applies, the victim was young and unable to process the trauma of their sexual abuse. As a coping mechanism, they repressed or forced the memories of the sexual abuse out of their conscious mind to make the pain stop. However, later in life, the memories resurfaced. If you feel that this added five years could apply to you and allow you to file a Camp William Mendenhall sexual abuse lawsuit, please get in touch with Kenmore Law Group today. Our staff will evaluate your case and help you determine if a lawsuit is the solution you need to overcome the challenges and hardships of your childhood sexual abuse at Camp William Mendenhall.
