The Statute of Limitations in Bakersfield
Each state has legal deadlines you must follow when filing a civil claim. These are known as the statute of limitations. Per Assembly Bill 218 (AB 218), which took effect in 2020, claimants have 22 years after turning 18 to file a claim. This window will expire when the claimant turns 40 years old.
Assembly Bill 218 (AB 218) also states that survivors have five years from the date they discovered psychological injury caused by their abuse to file a claim once they have turned 18. Adults who faced sexual assault have three years to file a lawsuit against their perpetrator. A sexual assault lawyer from our firm can help you understand the statute of limitations and keep track of deadlines to make sure your lawsuit is filed on time.
