California Assembly Bill 2777 (AB 2777) changed the amount of time some sexual abuse survivors have to file a lawsuit. If you attempted to file a lawsuit against your abuser, but your case was barred because the statute of limitations had already expired, you may now be able to file a lawsuit because of AB 2777.
