What is the statute of limitations for sexual abuse cases in Florida?
The statute of limitations for sexual abuse cases in Florida can be complex and varies depending on several factors, including when the abuse occurred and the age of the survivor at the time. Recent changes in Florida law have expanded the time limits for filing sexual abuse claims, particularly for cases involving minors.
Because these timeframes can be complicated, we strongly recommend consulting with our Palm Bay personal injury attorneys as soon as possible to understand how these laws apply to your specific situation and ensure your rights are protected.
Why should I file a lawsuit for sexual abuse?
Filing a lawsuit can be an important step in healing and securing justice. Legal action can:
• Hold abusers and enabling institutions accountable
• Prevent others from experiencing similar abuse
• Provide compensation for medical care and therapy
• Help achieve closure and validation
• Create systemic changes in organizations to protect others
Our compassionate team will support you through every step, ensuring you understand your options while respecting your choices about how to proceed.

We handle sexual abuse cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no upfront costs or fees. We only receive a fee if we successfully recover compensation for you. This arrangement ensures everyone has access to quality legal representation, regardless of their financial situation.
During your free, confidential consultation, we'll explain our fee structure in detail and answer any questions you have about the process. Our goal is to make quality legal representation accessible while allowing you to focus on healing.
