ALL CLAIMS UNDER THE NEW YORK CHILD VICTIMS ACT MUST BE FILED BY AUGUST 14, 2021.
The look back window allows a survivor of child sex abuse to file a civil case:
- No matter how old you are
- No matter how long ago the abuse took place
- Even if the claim was too late under the old statute of limitations
- Even if you sued the abuser before and the case was dismissed because you waited too long
- Even if a Notice of Claim was never filed
- Whether you are suing the abuser or organizations or persons that should have done something to stop or prevent the abuse from happening (like a school, an employer, or a place of worship)
