At Sokolove Law, we have over 45 years of experience helping survivors of sexual abuse. Our team is here to provide compassionate support and make the legal process as easy and stress-free as possible.

If you have a case, our school sexual abuse attorneys can:

  • Gather evidence to build a strong case on your behalf, like school records and witness statements
  • File your lawsuit against the abuser, the school, and any other responsible parties
  • Negotiate a settlement with the defendant(s)
  • Represent you in court in the rare event that your case goes to trial

School sexual abuse lawsuits allow survivors to pursue compensation for therapy, lost wages, and other losses tied to the abuse. These lawsuits can also help bring closure and a sense of justice being served.

Statute of Limitations for School Sexual Abuse Claims

It can take years or even decades for survivors of childhood sexual abuse to come forward about their experiences. Because of this, many assume they’re unable to file a lawsuit due to legal deadlines known as statutes of limitations.

In recent years, however, many states have passed laws giving survivors more time to file claims — including extending the statute of limitations for child sexual abuse and creating temporary “lookback windows” that allow cases to move forward regardless of when the abuse occurred.

Thanks to these changes, adult survivors may still have a path to justice. An experienced sexual abuse attorney at Sokolove Law can review the facts of your case and explain what options may be available based on the laws that apply where you are.
