Supporting adult survivors of childhood institutional abuse
Child sexual abuse is a devastating issue that affects countless individuals across Pennsylvania.
Recent changes in Pennsylvania’s State Laws have opened new avenues for survivors to seek justice and compensation, regardless of when the abuse occurred.
The Schmidt National Law Group provides both children and adult survivors of abuse the legal resources to hold those perpetrators or institutions accountable for the abuse that took place.
Our sensitive and compassionate abuse lawyers are now equipped to help victims navigate these complex legal processes and assert their rights. It doesn’t matter where the abuse happened; whether it was a church, a juvenile detention facility, or scouting groups.
Pennsylvania Eliminates Civil Statutes of Limitations
One of the most significant changes in new state laws has been the elimination of civil statutes of limitations for child sexual abuse cases. Pennsylvania will eliminate the civil statute of limitations for all expired sexual abuse claims for both children and adult victims alike.
Pennsylvania has now recognized that the unique trauma inflicted by childhood sexual abuse often prevents victims from coming forward until decades later.
As a result, they have undone all statute of limitations for survivors to file civil lawsuits against their abusers and the institutions that may have enabled the abuse.
If you were abused, no matter when or by whom, you now have the ability to come forth and take action against those that did you harm. By coming forth you may be helping other survivors to come forth as well.
