About Sexual Abuse
At The Lambrou Law Firm, we are committed to advocating for survivors of sexual abuse, providing them with the legal support they need to hold perpetrators and institutions accountable. We understand the lasting impact of abuse and work tirelessly to help victims pursue justice and compensation.
The Challenge of Proving Sexual Assault
Sexual abuse cases, especially those involving minors, are complex and often involve proving that the supervising employer or institution knew or should have known about the potential risk posed by the abuser. At Lambrou Law, we specialize in meticulously examining institutional protocols, overlooked red flags, and ignored complaints to uncover the truth. We fight relentlessly to hold the responsible parties accountable.
Championing Your Cause
Our firm has successfully represented victims of abuse, including survivors of a vice-principal’s misconduct at St. Demetrios School in Jamaica, NY. If you or a loved one was victimized at St. Demetrios or any other institution, reach out to us for support. We also leverage a nationwide database published by ProPublica, which tracks members of the Catholic Church credibly accused of abusing minors, to assist victims in seeking justice.
Understanding the New York Statute of Limitations for Sexual Abuse
The New York Child Victims Act
The New York Child Victims Act, signed into law by Governor Andrew Cuomo on February 14, 2019, extends the opportunity for sexual abuse survivors to file civil claims. The Act allows victims to pursue claims against both the abuser and the institution until they reach the age of 55. Additionally, the Act includes a special “look-back window” for claims that were previously barred due to time limitations, offering victims a chance to seek justice even if the statute of limitations had expired.
The “Look-Back Window” Explained
The Look-Back Window provides a unique opportunity for victims whose claims were previously time-barred to file lawsuits. In New York, this window was open from August 14, 2019, to January 14, 2021, allowing victims of child sexual abuse to pursue legal action without the constraints of traditional statute of limitations. If you or someone you know was affected during this period, it’s crucial to act now and consult with an experienced attorney to explore your legal options.
