How Long Do You Have to File a Sexual Abuse Claim Against Dr. Peter Fischer?

Under the revised statute of limitations, sexual abuse survivors:

• Can file a lawsuit until age 40 or within five years of discovering the abuse as an adult.
• Have a three-year window to file a sexual abuse claim that fell under the previous California statute of limitations.
• May be eligible for a triple reward (at the court's discretion) if the abuse was covered up or attempted to be covered up.
