Santa Rosa Adult Sexual Abuse Victims Lawyer
Helping Adults Get Justice for Childhood Sexual Abuse
Sexual abuse in childhood has the potential to cause emotional damage for the rest of a person's life. Victims of sexual abuse may have trust issues, difficulty in relationships, sexual dysfunction and a host of other problems. If you were sexually abused as a child, you may have problems even talking about your abuse with anyone. One way to take back some control over your life is to bring a lawsuit against your abuser.
We are the law firm of Teal Montgomery & Henderson. With offices in Santa Rosa and Sacramento, we are committed to helping our clients right wrongs and obtain a measure of justice. Whether you were abused by a member of the clergy, a teacher, counselor, relative or other adult as a child, we can help you take action against your abuser and others responsible for your abuse. If you are ready to talk to us, we would like the chance to talk to you.
One of the biggest obstacles in child sexual abuse cases used to be the statute of limitations. In recent years, California has relaxed the statute of limitations in child sexual abuse cases. These laws apply only to civil cases, not criminal cases. Generally speaking, victims of abuse have eight years from the date of reaching the age of 18, or three years from the date of discovering they have a psychological injury, whichever is later. This makes it easier for individuals who have been harmed by sexual abuse to bring lawsuits against their abusers and those who allowed abuse to occur.
