Parker Waichman LLP Reports Governor Cuomo Signed Child Victims Act Into Law
NEW YORK, Feb. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Those who have been victims of sexual abuse in New York will finally get the justice they have long deserved. The Child Victims Act was overwhelmingly passed by state legislature last month and was signed into law today by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo. Passing this legislation was a monumental task more than a decade in the making. The Child Victims Act provides a powerful weapon against child sexual abuse by extending the time in which victims can file a civil lawsuit in New York until they are 55 years old as well as reviving older cases that were not filed in time under New York's previous statute of limitations by including a special one-year "lookback" or grace period to file a claim.
