Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.

Where would my case be heard?
Massachusetts allows childhood sexual abuse claims until age 53 — one of the longest SOL periods in the country. The state's robust discovery rule further extends the window for survivors of LDS abuse.
