Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I file a lawsuit without revealing my identity?

Yes. Many sexual abuse cases are filed under pseudonyms such as “Jane Doe” or “John Doe” to protect the survivor’s identity. Your name can remain confidential throughout the legal process.

How long do I have to file a sexual abuse lawsuit in Seattle?

Washington law allows survivors of childhood sexual abuse to file a civil lawsuit within three years of discovering that the abuse caused them harm, even if the abuse occurred decades earlier. Adult survivors typically have three years from the date of the abuse. Every case is unique—contact us as soon as possible to protect your rights.

What compensation can I recover?

Compensation may include medical expenses, therapy, lost wages, emotional distress, and punitive damages. Every case is different, and our attorneys will fight for the maximum recovery available in your case.

What if the abuse happened a long time ago?

Even if the abuse occurred years or decades ago, you may still have legal options. Washington’s discovery rule for childhood abuse may extend the time to file a claim if you only recently realized the harm.

What if the perpetrator was never criminally charged?

You can still file a civil lawsuit regardless of whether criminal charges were filed. Civil cases have a different standard of proof and are focused on compensating you, not punishing the abuser.
