In the heart of Connecticut, Silver Golub & Teitell has spent decades representing the brave survivors of sexual abuse and assault. Our mission transcends just legal representation; it's about restoring dignity, voice, and justice to those who've been silenced for too long. Navigating the legal intricacies around child sexual abuse and assault requires experience, compassion, and unwavering dedication—all of which our firm promises and delivers.
Every state, including Connecticut, has legal timeframes, known as the statute of limitations, dictating when survivors can bring forth legal actions. Connecticut has made commendable strides in extending these limitations to acknowledge the unique challenges faced by sexual abuse survivors.
Child Sexual Abuse & Assault: Connecticut allows survivors of child sexual abuse to file a civil lawsuit until they reach the age of 51. Recognizing that many survivors grapple with their traumatic experiences into adulthood, this extended timeframe offers a more substantial window of opportunity for justice.
Delayed Discovery: Connecticut law also makes provisions for "delayed discovery." Essentially, if a survivor realizes the connection between their current psychological issues and past abuse only later in life, they have five years from the date of this discovery to file a suit.
Criminal Cases: On the criminal front, Connecticut has eradicated the statute of limitations for most sexual assault charges, ensuring that perpetrators can be held accountable regardless of when the crime occurred.
Connecticut, in its progressive legal stance, acknowledges the profound psychological impact of sexual abuse and assault. The intricate nature of trauma often means that survivors take years, if not decades, to come to terms with their experiences. Our state's laws reflect an understanding and respect for this often tumultuous healing journey.
However, despite these relatively lenient timeframes, acting promptly can be advantageous. Early legal action often provides a clearer path to gathering pertinent evidence and testimonials, optimizing the chances of a favorable outcome.
