ADDITIONAL TIME TO FILE CLAIMS FOR LONG AGO SEXUAL ABUSE
BREAKING NEWS: California has just granted additional time for victims of child sexual abuse to file a legal claim. On October 13, 2019, the Assembly passed a new law signed by Governor Gavin Newsom. Assembly Bill 218 provides that survivors of childhood sexual abuse, irrespective of how long ago the abuse occurred or how old they are today, have three years to file a lawsuit – for what occurred long ago.
How The New California Law Impacts Childhood Sexual Abuse Survivors
The new law provides sexual assault victims more time to file lawsuits against their accusers and the organizations their accusers worked for. Three years. You can now bring a claim even if the abuse happened when you were a child or teenager. We believe the new California sexual abuse law will result in thousands of new child sexual abuse cases. The new California law allows long ago childhood sexual assault victims to now obtain compensation for assaults that occurred long ago by filing sexual abuse claims.
The law firm of Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers is representing child sex abuse victims including against the Catholic Church, Boy Scouts of America, Mormon Church, and any other organization which enabled child abuse. Even if this happened 20 or 40 years ago, we can now help you and make a claim. The law allows for compensation for abuse that happened decades before.

Types of Sexual Abuse Cases Our Law Firm Handles
Child Sexual Abuse
“Self-report studies show that 20% of adult females and 5-10% of adult males recall a childhood sexual assault or sexual abuse incident” – victimsofcrime.org
This occurs when a foster parent, school teacher, priest or an adult sexually abuses a child. This includes any physical domination which may occur between an adult and a child.
If you, your child, or a loved one was a victim of some type of sexual abuse contact us today for a free consultation by either completing the online form on the right or by calling us today. We truly understand the sensitivity of the situation for you or your child.
Clergy Abuse
We have seen numerous cases of sexual abuse by clergy members during church outings, church activities, church events, on-site visits, etc. There are sexual predators out there and we will protect our clients from them. If you or a loved one was or is a victim of any kind of clergy sexual abuse please call us today to have a confidential conversation with a case intake specialist.
Sexual Abuse by a Caregiver
Many sexual abuse cases occur involving children and their sports coaches, day care, hospitals, residential care facilities, etc. In other words: adults the children know and trust. This could be coaches, caregivers, neighbors, etc. You never know.
If you, a loved one or your child was the victim of any type of caregiver abuse please call us today. Your call is confidential and we can provide you with the resources you need.
Sexual Abuse In Sports Teams
Studies show that between 2 and 8 percent of athletes are victims of sexual abuse within a sporting context. It seems that elite young athletes are more likely to experience sexual abuse than their lower-level peers. A 2008 study showed that 98% of these cases are perpetrated by coaches, teachers or instructors.
AYSO Soccer Sexual Abuse
A former AYSO coach in Lancaster, California, Renoir Vincent Valenti, was sentenced to 130 years in prison after he was found guilty of molesting 15 boys over a 17 year time period. At least five civil lawsuits have already been filed against Valenti.
Youth soccer should be an environment where our children have fun and learn valuable life lessons about teamwork, competition, etc. It should not be an environment where our children’s lives are forever scarred by sexual predators.
Call us today if you or a loved one was a victim of AYSO soccer sexual abuse. We know what a difficult, sensitive situation this can be for you and your child, and we will do whatever it takes to ensure that you and your child obtain justice.
Gymnastics Sexual Abuse
Over 368 people have been sexually abused “by gym owners, coaches, and staff working for gymnastics programs across the country” over the past two decades. Larry Nassar has been sentenced to a combined 140 to 360 years in prison after he was accused of sexual assault by over 265 women. A nine month investigation found that “predatory coaches were allowed to move from gym to gym, undetected by a lax system of oversight, or dangerously passed on by USA Gymnastics-certified gyms.” Nassar has since been named in hundreds of lawsuits.
If you or a loved one was a victim of sexual abuse while participating in gymnastics, contact the law office of Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers today to speak with an attorney who has experience and a history of success handling childhood sexual abuse cases. Your phone call will be strictly confidential, and we understand the sensitive nature of these cases. Call us now.
Private School Sexual Abuse
You’ve sent your child to a private school. This may have cost you a ton of money. You’ve sent your child to a private school because you expect your child to receive the best possible education there. Instead, you find out your child has been sexually abused there. This nightmare scenario is all too plausible in today’s world.
Our educators are granted with the monumentally important task of developing our youth into the successful workers and leaders of tomorrow. It is an especially horrific crime when our educators shirk this responsibility and instead abuse their position by abusing our children. Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers feels nothing but the strongest contempt for these predators and will fight aggressively to help these predators’ victims seek justice.
Contact us now by completing the contact form on this page if you or a loved one was a victim of sexual abuse at a private school. We have the experience, willpower and knowledge to obtain justice and the largest possible monetary recoveries for victims of this despicable crime.
Public School Sexual Abuse
Public school employees are the backbone of our educational system. Not only are they entrusted with the lives, safety and development of our children, but they’re paid with taxpayer money. This makes it especially contemptible when these employees sexually abuse our children. A 2000 survey found that around 290,000 students had been sexually abused by public school employees from 1991 to 2000, and a 2004 study found that almost 10 percent of United States public school students had been targeted with sexual attention by employees of public schools.
Call us today if you or a loved one was sexually abused by an employee of a public school. Let us put our many decades of legal experience to work for you to obtain you or your loved one the justice they deserve.
Boys & Girls Clubs Sexual Abuse
A six month investigation found over 250 victims, in 30 states, who claim to have suffered sexual abuse at the hands of “employees, volunteers and other members of Boys & Girls Clubs of America affiliates.” Children as young as six years old were raped and assaulted, and some of the victims were molested for years.
The parents of America trust Boys & Girls Clubs to essentially help raise their children after school when the parents are busy at work. It is terribly loathsome for those entrusted with this huge responsibility to abuse it by abusing children.
Call us today if you or a loved one was sexually abused by someone affiliated with Boys & Girls Clubs of America. We will fight to the end to obtain justice for victims. We do not charge a fee for our services unless a recovery is made.
Day Care/After Care
Parents who rely on day care and after care facilities should not have to worry about unsafe supervision. Young children who are sexually abused in day care and after care facilities need to be protected. We are handling cases on behalf of young children and their parents against after care and day care facilities.
Residential Care Group Homes
We are handling of sexual abuse victims by healthcare workers in residential care group homes who molest women in care facilities. Sexual abuse by healthcare workers in long term care and group homes is outrageous given the vulnerable state of residents. We have also had elderly clients who suffered abuse. The operators of these homes that hire home health workers and resident workers are responsible for the employment of workers to ensure the safety of residents/our clients. We handle these cases.
Summer Camps
Sexual abuse has been reported in hundreds of cases in summer camps. We are handling these cases. Specifically, sleep away camps but also day camps. If your child was abused in a summer camp please contact us. Summer camp owners and management are liable for negligent supervision in supervising and hiring counselors in the first place when children are harmed.
Entertainment Industry
In the wake of revelations about Harvey Weinstein there are a huge amount of sexual harassment victims through the entertainment industry who now feel they have the ability to share their plight. Sexual assault in entertainment includes actors, actresses, musicians, models and others. This type of sexual molestation includes inappropriate sexual touching all the way to rape. Victims maintain their silence out of fear of being blacklisted in the entertainment community. Sexual abuse in entertainment is a crime similar to other sexual crimes and perpetrators must be held liable for their actions. We are handling cases involving women who are sexually assaulted or molested in the entertainment industry.
Cruise Ships and Airlines
Sexual assault aboard cruise ships by employees has risen in a dramatic fashion. Cruise ship owners are obligated to keep passengers safe which means hiring employees with clean records and monitoring their vessels for misconduct. Sexual assault is the most frequent crime aboard cruise ships. We are handling sexual assault and molestation cases throughout the country involving women who are molested, assaulted and raped by cruise ship employees.
Damages We Can Recover
We file civil lawsuits on behalf of our clients (if we can’t first settle with confidentiality) to obtain monetary damages which include physical and emotional pain and suffering, lost wages, medical and psychiatric expenses. In some cases, when we can show that the employer knew of the misconduct and did nothing about it and kept the perpetrator employed we can recover punitive damages as well.
Remember, liability for sexual assault includes hospitals, churches, universities, Boy Scouts of America and other youth groups who we can and will hold liable for sexual assaults by their employees, supervisors and scout masters.

Court Upholds New York Child Victims Act
On July 13, 2023, an appeals court New York upheld New York’s Child Victims Act. The state law lets victims of childhood sexual abuse file lawsuits until they are the age of 55. The court ruled the act is constitutional because it gives victims a reasonable remedy in the case it takes them a long time to be able to accept and deal with their abuse.
