Statute of Limitations
NY Child Victims Act (CPLR § 214-g) allows survivors of childhood sexual abuse to file claims until age 55, or within 5 years of turning 18, whichever is later. The one-year lookback window (2019-2020) has passed, but ongoing SOL extension remains.
Until age 55 for childhood sexual abuse claims; standard 3-year SOL for non-sexual abuse
