The Importance of Specialized Legal Support

Navigating the aftermath of a sexual assault is an overwhelming journey. While the criminal justice system focuses on punishing the perpetrator, the civil legal system is designed to focus on you—the survivor. A specialized sexual assault lawyer in Los Angeles County plays a critical role in:

  • Identifying Institutional Liability: Often, an assault is made possible by the negligence of a school, hospital, workplace, or religious organization. We look beyond the individual to hold the systems that failed you accountable.
  • Securing Financial Stability: Recovery often requires long-term therapy, medical care, and time away from work. We fight for compensation to cover these lifelong costs.
  • Providing Trauma-Informed Representation: Our approach is built on the understanding of “trauma-informed care,” ensuring that the legal process does not re-traumatize you.

The Positive Impact of Seeking Justice

Taking legal action is a vital step toward personal and community healing. For many survivors, a successful civil claim provides a sense of closure that the criminal system cannot always offer.

Beyond the individual, these lawsuits create a ripple effect of safety. When institutions are held financially accountable for “cover-ups” or negligence, they are forced to implement stricter safety protocols, background checks, and reporting measures. Your brave decision to stand up can prevent future harm to others in Los Angeles and throughout California.

Understanding California’s Evolving Laws

Los Angeles County survivors are currently in a unique position due to landmark shifts in California law. We stay at the forefront of these changes to ensure you never miss an opportunity for justice:

  1. AB 250 (The Sexual Assault Survivor Act): Effective January 1, 2026, this law has opened a new two-year window (ending December 31, 2027) for adult survivors to file civil claims that were previously barred by the statute of limitations. This is specifically for cases involving institutional cover-ups.
  2. Extended Statutes of Limitations: Under the current California Code of Civil Procedure, victims of childhood sexual abuse can generally file claims until their 40th birthday, and for abuse occurring on or after January 1, 2024, the statute of limitations has been entirely abolished.

The “Look-Back” Windows: We leverage laws like AB 2777 and AB 218, which have historically allowed survivors to revive older claims against both perpetrators and the private entities that shielded them.

Proven Results: A Legacy of Accountability

Tenina Law, Inc. is proud to be part of a legal landscape that has secured billions for survivors in Southern California. Recent years have seen historic accountability in our county, including:

  • $4.8 Billion settlement for survivors of abuse in Los Angeles County juvenile detention facilities.
  • $880 Million settlement involving the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
  • Millions recovered from medical institutions and private corporations that failed to protect their patients and employees.

While every case is unique, our 20+ years of experience in complex civil litigation ensures that your case is handled with the strategic depth required to face large insurance companies and powerful institutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the statute of limitations for sexual assault in Los Angeles?

It depends on your age at the time of the incident. For adults, it is typically 10 years, or 3 years from the discovery of injury. However, new laws like AB 250 (active through 2027) may allow you to file even if the original deadline has passed.

2. Can I sue a business or school, not just the individual? 

Yes. In California, if an institution (like a school, church, or employer) was negligent or participated in a cover-up, it can be held liable for damages.

3. What if I don’t want to go to trial? 

Many sexual assault cases are resolved through private settlements. We prioritize your comfort and will negotiate aggressively to get a fair settlement without the need for a public trial whenever possible.

4. How much is my sexual assault case worth? 

Settlement amounts vary based on the severity of the abuse, the evidence of institutional negligence, and the long-term impact on your life. Recent California settlements have ranged from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars.

5. Can I still file a claim if the assault happened decades ago? 

Quite possibly. California has passed several “revival” laws specifically to help survivors of older incidents seek justice. Contact us for a confidential review of your timeline.

6. Is my consultation confidential? 

Absolutely. Anything you discuss with our legal team is protected by attorney-client privilege, regardless of whether you choose to hire us.
