JUSTICE SERVED
New legal criteria has expanded survivor rights.
If you are 40 years of age or younger, and the abuse occurred when you were a minor, you may be eligible to join a current or future case.
Why come forward now?
California law has recently expanded the rights of survivors, making it possible to file lawsuits even years after the abuse occurred. This change recognizes the trauma and silence that so often follow abuse — and the courage it takes to speak out.
We understand that stepping forward can be incredibly difficult. You may have been told to keep quiet, or felt ashamed, afraid, or powerless. But your experience matters. What happened to you was not your fault. You have the right to be heard, to hold institutions accountable, and to help ensure this never happens to another child again.
What You’ll Need To Provide
- Your approximate age and school location at the time of the abuse
- The name or role of the abuser (teacher, coach, etc.)
- A basic description of what occurred, including if you told anyone at the time
- Any supporting documents (optional), such as:
- School records
- Emails or texts
- Reports made to school officials or police
Don’t worry if you don’t have proof — many successful cases rely on survivor testimony.
Your safety and privacy are of the utmost importance
Your identity can be kept confidential during the legal process.
Attorneys will handle communications and file on your behalf.
You are protected from retaliation under California and federal law.
