Are You A Victim?
The Adult Survivors Act officially passed in New York allowing adult sexual abuse survivors a one-year window in which the state's usual statute of limitations for civil lawsuits would be set aside. This window allows for victims to be heard and file a claim against their abusers. The New York sexual abuse attorneys at Sullivan, Papain, Block, McGrath, Coffinas and Cannavo are dedicated to protecting the rights of sexual abuse victims and bringing those who have committed such heinous acts to justice.
The bill is modeled after New York’s now-expired Child Victims Act, which gave people a similar second chance to sue over sexual abuse they suffered as children. By the time that widow closed, more than 10,000 lawsuits had been filed, many against institutions like churches, schools, camps and scout groups.

-Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal
