Washington CHILD SEX ABUSE
HOLD ABUSERS ACCOUNTABLE AND SAY “No More” TO CHILD SEX ABUSE
Victims of childhood sexual abuse in Washington have extended options to seek justice for past abuse. Thanks to recent discovery laws, after discovering injuries connected to past sexual abuse, sexual abuse survivors in Washington have three years to file claims against their abusers. This time starts either within three years that the injuries are discovered, happened, or reasonably should have been discovered. These laws give child abuse survivors in Washington more time to file civil claims for their abuse and receive compensation to cover financial burdens caused by abuse. If you survived sexual abuse in Washington, call our sexual abuse attorneys now for aggressive, professional representation. We’re here to support you as you pursue healing for your past abuse, and we fight for your right to justice.

Increased Washington Sexual Abuse Statute of Limitations
ATTENTION washington SEXUAL ABUSE SURVIVORS:
Though Washington has not altered their civil sexual abuse statute of limitations since the early 2000s, the “Evergreen State” offers flexible discovery laws for sexual abuse cases. Currently, Washington caps the age limit for filing civil sexual abuse lawsuits at 21 years old. However, the state’s discovery limit allows sexual abuse victims to file a claim up to three years after discovering the connection between their injuries and the abuse.
You could have endured sexual abuse as a child and not experience a traumatic response or injury for many years. So, this essentially means there is no specific time limit when it comes to childhood sexual abuse cases in Washington. Many sexual abuse victims know they were abused as children but never connected their psychological or physical injuries to the abuse. So, when they or a doctor determines the harm that was caused by childhood sexual abuse, they have three years to file a civil claim against those responsible for their abuse. Responsible parties for sexual abuse could be the perpetrator or organizations affiliated with the perpetrator like a daycare, a youth organization like the Boy Scouts of America, or a religious organization like the Catholic Church.
